Founded in March 2010 by a group of young Egyptians, Bokra for Media Production, Media Studies and Human Rights works in the field of media, human rights and democracy promotion. Bokra seeks to advance the work in the areas of information, civil society development and human rights as well as to contribute effectively to the change in the society using media as a tool for political and social change in Egypt. By overcoming the gap between individual and public interests, Bokra works hard to promote active youth participation in the political life and the democratic transition in Egypt in particular using nongovernmental media as a tool.
