As a man, you might think that you have a minimal role in the harassment issues we have been reading about these past days. But that’s not true, your role as a man goes beyond defending young women and standing by their rights.

Here are some ways you can show support to women:

Just Listen

To show your support to women who have been sexually or physically assaulted, you need to listen to whatever they want to share about their experiences. Assure them that you care about their well-being and understand where they come from.

Sometimes, women don’t even expect you to try and jump in immediately to ‘fix’ the problem, sometimes they just want to know that you’re standing by their sides and supporting them in every way.

Ask Yourself the Following

Did I ever unintentionally hurt the feelings of a woman?

Did I ever invade a woman’s privacy in any way?

Did I ever standby as any of my friends harassed a girl?

This is called self reflection, as it’s equally important to stop and reflect on your own behavior!

End the Cycle of Silence

You need to end the cycle of silence, if a friend of yours is harassing a girl, you need to take action and stop him. Despite how close the two of you can be, there’s no excuse for him to behave in any disrespectful manner.

Stand up For Girls

Defend girls! Both in reality and online. It’s always better to hear it from a guy’s perspective, to see men agreeing with women’s rights and showing their support to the cause.

Put Aside Assumptions

Also, don’t question women. If a girl or a woman confide in you, it means they care deeply about you so never question their story.

Don’t Judge

Be empathetic not judgmental. Show and express your empathy, Girls who have been harassed go through a lot, they have experienced something that society think has damaged their reputation and livelihood, so don’t make it worse.

Be an Advocate For Equality

In Egypt, we’re not used to having men who show their advocacy to gender equality, so it would be great that for a change we can see men turning into true advocates for equality.

So don’t be scared to speak up as well, to tackle issues at your workspace, to help create a safer haven for your female colleagues.

You can model the type of workplace dynamics and behavior that promote equity and respect.

Remember, you can be the beginning of a huge change!

This summer season, LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT is helping sun-seekers savour the good life and the beauty of Golden Hour with its own take on Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts’ global brand programme, Au Soleil by Le Méridien.

Personifying the laid-back elegance of European summers and the allure of the Côte d’Azur, this season’s global programme revolves around ‘Golden Hour,’ the magical hour at the end of the day under the sun – a sacred moment in time to slow down and indulge in simple pleasures through all the senses.

Beginning June 2022 LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT will invite travellers to soak in the summer season and Golden Hour, both on- and off-property:

The Hotel will feature a How to Summer Guide, dedicated Petit Plates menu offering Mediterranean inspired mini baguettes perfectly paired rosé spritzers and aperitifs, part of the brand’s signature Sparkling Programme. In addition, Le Méridien is bringing modern twist to classic games traditionally enjoyed outdoors during warm weather days such as the iconic backgammon, as well as, poolside chess and other timeless summer pastimes both to-go and as an oversized option, inviting guests to linger a little longer, with an exclusive warm weather soundtrack, curated by French Bossa Nova collective Nouvelle Vague.

Au Soleil Stay Package at LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT

Beginning June 1 through October 31, LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT will offer a special Au Soleil stay package that includes daily breakfast and a complimentary Le Scoop by Le Méridien gelato or sorbet, Au Soleil brunch and Au Soleil movie night every weekend

On-Property Experiences that Salute Golden Hour

From relaxing rosé and backgammon to bronzing in the afternoon sun, travellers visiting LE MÉRIDIEN Cairo Airport will be able to capture the spirit of Au Soleil in a variety of ways:

● A dedicated Petit Plates menu, offering Mediterranean-inspired mini baguettes and local light bites – from oysters to grilled fish – all with perfectly paired rosé spritzers and aperitifs, part of the brand’s signature Sparkling programme.

● A modern twist to classic games traditionally enjoyed outdoors during warm weather days, such as the iconic seaside pastime of backgammon, as well as tic-tac-toe, poolside chess and chic modernist-style Jenga sets.

● Le Scoop by Le Méridien, featuring various flavors of gelato and sorbet – incorporating authentic ingredients like bright green pistachios from Sicily, as well as fragrant vanilla beans from Madagascar – reminiscent of a glamourous, sunny summer spent on the French Riviera. Le Scoop is designed to be enjoyed while taking part in the European summer tradition of a “passeggiata” to unlock the destination’s locale. “Passeggiata” is an Italian term referring to a traditional evening stroll in the town’s piazza.

● An exclusive summer soundtrack, curated by French Bossa Nova collective Nouvelle Vague, inviting guests to lounge a little longer.

● A distinctive on-property design aesthetic, evoking the spirit of Au Soleil and the playful glamour of endless European summers for travellers all year round.
