In January 2024, a Coptic Christian woman waskidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam in Egypt. Irene Ibrahim Shehata, a 21-year-old medical student at Asyut National University disappeared between her mid-term exams. Her frantic family sought help from the police, but none was provided. Why? What was going on?
Sadly, Irene’s case is neither isolated nor rare. In Egypt, and other countries, Christian women are “disappeared,”kidnapped by Muslims, forcibly converted, married off and enslaved. How does this happen in the 21st century? Who is driving this trafficking of Christian women? What can be done to combat this evil?
“Lindsay,” an associate with Coptic Solidarity, joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to shed light on this evil pattern playing out. She answers these questions and more as she brings this issue to light; an issue many would rather leave concealed in darkness.
As you learn about the plight of these Christian women and girls, please pray for them. Pray for their families. Prayfor their release and return. And pray for their abductors, that in their hearts they may be convicted of their actions, repent and come to faith in Christ.
