Description
This audio examines how cases of femicide in Egypt are mobilized to further empower carceral logics and institutions. By examining recent femicide cases in Egypt and the states unequal response to them, this audio highlights how the Egyptian carceral state uses the murder of women to mark certain masculine subjectivities as predatory and to further enforce a paternalistic relationship where the security state always emerges as the (masculine) savior of the murdered victim.
