Cairo 678

This powerful Egyptian drama follows three women in Cairo who bravely confront the pervasive issue of sexual harassment in their city.

Mohamed Diab's 2010 Egyptian drama, Cairo 678, courageously depicts the daily realities of sexual harassment faced by women in Egypt. The film interweaves the stories of Fayza, Seba, and Nelly, three women from different social backgrounds in Cairo. Each woman experiences harassment on public transport, particularly on bus route 678, and reacts in her own way, from quiet defiance to public protest. The film highlights their shared struggle, resilience, and the solidarity they find in fighting for their safety and dignity in a challenging urban environment.
