A 21-year-old Christian woman, Irene Ibrahim Shehata, was abducted and forced to convert to Islam in Egypt. We’re demanding an investigation from the U.N. and Egypt to find and free her.

Irene suddenly disappeared during midterm exams. She then bravely stole her captor’s phone and tearfully pleaded for her life in a desperate call to her brother. Her captor ripped the phone from her hands and told her brother, “Okay, you heard her voice and know she’s okay, right? Now go to hell!”

Irene’s family immediately contacted the police. But the police refused to take action and threatened to arrest her family if they attempted to rescue her.

A month later, the religion listed on her national ID was suddenly altered to 'Muslim.' This is a common tactic used by the Muslim Brotherhood to force families to give up.

Tragically, this is not an isolated incident. Christian women in Egypt are often kidnapped, “married” to Muslim men, and then forced to convert to Islam. We are advocating for Irene at the U.N. And we’re demanding that Egypt take immediate steps to find her and stop the forced conversions. Take urgent action with us.
