I have worked on supporting sexual minorities rights in the Middle East. I created a Facebook group called ’Health survey of Arab Men who have sex with men’ aiming to survey health issues among sexual minorities in the Middle East. The group provides health awareness and online data about Egyptian gays in the Middle East. I extended my work by developing a research project aiming to describe the current situation of sexual minorities in Egypt, how they can be reached and their health and psychological behaviors. My paper entitled “Reaching Egyptian gays using social media: A comprehensive health study and a framework for future research” got accepted recently by Journal of Homosexuality.
