In a 2016 attempt to revive Egypt’s struggling economy in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution, Egypt signed a three-year, $12 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On November 3rd, 2016, the Central Bank of Egypt devalued the Egyptian pound (LE) by 48%, causing a steep rise in prices and the value of the USD against the LE. By June 16th, 2018, the government had raised fuel prices for the third time since the devaluation of the currency to meet loan conditions. This paper argues that Egypt’s 2016 IMF loan and its subsequent neoliberal policies have exacerbated the difficulties of women’s mobility in Cairo. It, therefore, has been jeopardizing their personal safety, employment prospects, and possibilities of a better life. I base my theoretical work on Ananya Roy and Silvia Chant’s research regarding women’s mobility and transportation justice in the Global South. This research is qualitative; I do textual analysis of primary sources including news articles in Arabic and English and draw data from institutional reports and surveys. I also draw on primary data from interviews I conducted with Cairene women in 2017. Using a gender lens, this paper asks: has the IMF loan and its ensuing devaluation of the Egyptian pound and hike in fuel prices disproportionately affected Cairene women’s mobility? Mobility in Cairo has always been difficult for most women, as the decrepit state of infrastructure and transportation, and omnipresent harassment hinders their access and rights to public space. This paper finds that the IMF loan and accompanying austerity measures have exacerbated these difficulties and made the state of women’s mobility more precarious. From there, a ripple effect in their lives (and their families’) occurs, affecting everything from their morale to how far they can travel in the city to their prospects of a better life. This pilot study gives insight into an important, yet under-researched, issue in Egypt’s current events. Academics, economists and policy makers must further research this issue and bring it to the spotlight as most Egyptians will continue to experience severe economic conditions for the foreseeable future.
