Eight female Egyptian presenters told to lose weight or lose jobs | World news | The Guardian
'They have been given an ultimatum: lose weight or lose your job.“It’s unfair,” Khattab told the Guardian. “It’s discriminatory. '
'Egyptian presenter Khadiga Khattab, the regular host of a 30-minute television show, is usually the one delivering the news, not generating it. '
'She and seven other presenters have been deemed by their employer to be too overweight to appear on camera and suspended for a month. '
'Last year, Egypt was one of the world’s worst jailers of journalists, with at least 24 behind bars. '
'It’s my private matter and in fact, I’m the way a common, natural Egyptian woman is. '
