She studied in the science faculty of Al- Minufiyah University, graduating with a BA in 1989 and master’s degree in 1990. Then, she worked as a research assistant at Mansoura University and became involved in activism through the leftist Daughter of the Earth (Bint al-Ard) group at Mansoura University. In 1992, she travelled to Saudi Arabia to work as a teacher, returning to Egypt in 1996. At that time many farmers were being evicted from their lands due to the passage of a new tenancy law and Fatma became involved in defending farmer rights and then joined the Revolutionary Socialists, working on the defence of farmer and worker rights and joining various coordinating committees for that purpose. In 2002 she started working at the Workforce Administration and faced harassment by her manager. In 2006, she stood for elections to the General Federation of Egyptian Trade Unions and won a seat, which was temporarily frozen when Fatma attempted to bring workers’ demands to the attention of the Minister of Labour. Fatma also worked for a while with the Egyptian Observatory for Rights and Freedoms, monitoring workers’ protests. During the uprising of January 2011 Fatma participated in the 18 day sit-in in Tahrir Square. Afterwards, she participated in forming an independent union in her workplace and in helping to establish the Federation for Independent Trade Unions, in which she volunteered to be a movement coordinator, supporting workers’ protests. At the time of the interview, Fatma was a member of the executive board of the Egyptian Federation for Independent Trade Unions, working as a safety-at-work inspector in the Workforce Administration in Giza, and involved with a "Right to Work" project with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
