In an attempt to make Egyptian society more tolerant and more aware of the different struggles of individuals, the Cairo Confessions team allows people to submit confessions anonymously and receive advice and words of support from strangers.

"We want to teach people to accept others and be less judgmental of issues they may not understand," the team told StepFeed.

"We also aim to enable people to be more open and talk about the variety of issues they face in order to break social stigmas and taboos," they added, explaining that such secrecy impacts society as a whole negatively and severely.
