JINS means "sex" in Arabic. Just by saying it, some people will already say that I have gone too far. Why are we so afraid to talk about it that we prefer to keep quiet, to be frustrated, to hide? Are Arabs prudes? Everything in history tends to show the contrary. So, without making a comparative study between countries, is there really a pan-Arab anti-sexuality or is it more insidious and complex than that? Don't they also have the right to pleasure?

She also is a former vice chair of the United Nations' Global Commission on HIV and Law.
