In 2017, Tadwein Center for Gender Studies launched a campaign on social media platforms about the crime of mutilating the bodies of women with incendiary materials or acid as a form of violence against women, as this crime is a silent crime, in which no official statistics are available on its rates. It is worth noting that this crime is not explicitly stated in Egyptian law yet, and it is mitigated by including it among the beatings crimes that are regulated by Articles 240, 241, and 242 of the Egyptian Penal Code, despite the physical, psychological and social harms it causes, which are difficult to treat.

Tadwein for Gender Studies announces the launch of a campaign (#Acid_Attacks #The Story_did_not_end) during the sixteen international days of activism against gender-based violence (November 25th to December 10th, 2017). The aim of the campaign is to shed light on the crime of mutilating women’s bodies with incendiary materials or acid as a form of violence against women, as this crime is not looked at and has no official statistics are available, and there are no laws criminalizing it. It is worth noting that this crime is not yet defined in the Egyptian Penal Code. It is included in the beating crimes that are regulated by Articles 240, 241, and 242 of the Penal Code.
