The Shrouk El-Attar Trust (SEAT) is a non-profit trust that has been set up by Shrouk El-Attar to primarily support the LGBT+ community in Egypt. Shrouk arrived to the UK as a child refugee in 2007 where she attended school and was two years ahead of her peers, but was later unable to access university to study engineering due to being an asylum seeker. Shrouk then joined Student Action for Refugees (STAR) and led the campaign for Equal Access to Higher Education for Asylum Seekers, now successful at more than 70 universities across the UK. Growing up queer to a conservative muslim family in Mubarak’s Egypt is not easy. And when finally thought to have reached safety in the UK, the term “Safety” could not have been further from the truth. Shrouk’s involvement in the Egyptian LGBT+ scene is undoubtedly dangerous, yet their experience of how the UK treats queer refugees poses new unexpected challenges. Shrouk belly dances in drag as a method of protesting her country’s treatment of LGBT+ people, where they are imprisoned and sectioned to mental health asylums. She has performed all over the UK, Europe, and in countries as far as Japan and India. Her performance raises funds for LGBT+ campaigners in Egypt and was featured on many well-known media outlets like HuffPost, BBC, Reuters, Pink News, and Buzzfeed. Since the beginning of Dancing Queer, Shrouk has been donating part of her booking fee to ensure she can contribute to enhancing the safety of the LGBT+ community in her country of birth. The donations are given to local associations that give mental health and housing support, creating safe spaces for LGBT+ communities.
