At the headquarters of one of Egypt's many new political parties, a meeting of the women's committee is in progress. The Egyptian Social Democratic Party is a liberal, secular party and the purpose of the committee is to keep women's rights on the agenda in post-revolutionary Egypt.
Dina Wahba, a 25-year-old activist, chairs the committee. Like everyone else in the room, she fears that women, who helped topple Mubarak, will have little say in the country's future. Wahba said it's common, after revolutions, for women to lose out.
