Samira Ibrahim

She's only 25 years old, but Samira Ibrahim has already inspired us all with her stand against male-dominated military forces in Egypt. After she was forced by Egyptian soldiers to take a "virginity test," Samira sued the military over the horrific experience. A judge ruled that virginity tests were illegal, but then last month a military tribunal acquitted the doctor who allegedly performed them. Samira's not done fighting, and she's not alone.
