Following a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, there has been a surge in online messages advocating for the marriage and exploitation of underage girls, raising alarm among women's rights activists and organizations. Yasmina Benslimane, founder of Politics4Her, and other activists are calling for a gender-sensitive relief response. At least one man has been arrested for promoting content related to sexual assault of young girls. King Mohammed VI has granted 'Ward of the Nation' status to orphaned children to protect them from trafficking. NGOs like Al Karam Association and international bodies like UNFPA are working to address gender-based violence and provide reproductive health services. Period poverty remains a significant issue, with organizations providing menstrual supplies and education. Pregnant women are also facing challenges, with at least 4,100 affected by the quake, and makeshift delivery rooms being set up in rural areas.

Egyptian musician Ramy Essam and Lebanese filmmaker Tariq Keblaoui collaborated on a song titled 'Mafi Mafi (Khod)', expressing political discontent in Lebanon ahead of its parliamentary elections. The song, which lists Lebanon's numerous crises, reflects a shared history of rebellion in the region. Essam, known for his anthem of the Egyptian uprising, and Keblaoui, who documented Lebanon's 2019 revolution and survived the Beirut port blast, aimed to support the Lebanese movement against decades of exploitation. The project also involved Egyptian artist Ganzeer and co-writer Samir Skayni, blending Egyptian and Lebanese dialects. The song and its video, featuring a mix of street footage, graphics, and archival material, offer a raw emotional representation of the struggles faced by the Lebanese people. The collaboration underscores the power of art in challenging oppressive regimes and inspiring change, despite the varying political landscapes in Egypt and Lebanon.
