Bushra Stands up for Women

Bushra is the hardest working Egyptian women in the business. She cares, she rocks and she can act. Boushra was not satisfied with a great album last year where she filmed three music videos and all were wonderful addition to her career. In the same year she had three movies to her credit, and a tv show. She is about the only Egyptian actresses to feature a Hijab wearing "Muhajabah" in her movies. She does it with grace and charm. She is now tacking perhaps one of the most serious challenge Egyptian women face of this time, personal safety and dignity on public transportation.

Her song Mitgenanah is about the plight of women and the struggle they have to go through as of the expectations and the standards they have to abide by are much higher those of men. The song is to play on Arabic TV in an effort to promote the new movie 678 about sexual harassment in Egypt's public transportation. Bushra got in so much trouble for her bold movie, of course there is a strong supporting cast, but she seems to have taken upon herself defending the film amidst accusation of harming the image of Egypt in public.

the music video is simple, plays like a tabloid that cover women, as in Boushra's dress, anything a woman does will be on the news as to shame them. For mothers, daughters and women all over the Arab world and beyond comes this song about the state of women and injustice all around. The song is not too harsh, nor too distributing, it leaves on a positive note. She is Egypt in that sense, that's easy when your name is Bushra Arabic for the good news.
