CAIRO — Only women are allowed to live in al-Samaha village, which is located in a remote area in Upper Egypt. It is a retreat and refuge for many of them to lead a calm and safe life away from the pressures of life or crimes of violence and discrimination against them.
Al-Samaha village stretches over an area of 1,818 acres, which is only approximately 8 square kilometers. Yet the village is still receiving more women and presenting them with economic activities.
