Ramadan is the high season for TV drama. Every Ramadan, audiences look for dramas that resonate with their own experiences and emotions.&nbsp;
In Ramadan 2025, two series stood out for tackling issues rarely addressed so boldly on screen. From the struggles of orphans to the dark realities of child abuse, these dramas didn&rsquo;t just have the most viewership&mdash;they ignited important conversations. Among the many viewers deeply moved by these works was Egypt&rsquo;s Minister of Social Development, Dr. Maya Morsy, who publicly expressed her admiration for their powerful messages.
Welad El-Shams
Dr. Morsy named Welad El-Shams, starring Ahmed Malek and Tahaa Desouky, as one of her favorite Ramadan series this year. The drama sheds light on children growing up without parents&mdash;whether abandoned at birth, placed in institutional care, or adopted only to be later discarded when biological children come into the picture. These stories, often ignored in mainstream media, found a voice in Welad El-Shams, bringing attention to the emotional and social struggles faced by these children.
Dr. Morsy&rsquo;s admiration went beyond appreciation&mdash;she&nbsp;actively honored the creators for their commitment to raising awareness. She highlighted how the show&rsquo;s raw, emotional storytelling offered audiences an eye-opening glimpse into the lives of children who navigate life without the foundation of a family. By weaving real-life struggles into a dramatic narrative, Welad El-Shams&nbsp;became more than just entertainment&mdash;it became a social awareness series.

Lam Shamsya
Another series that earned Dr. Morsy&rsquo;s praise was Lam Shamsya, which tackled a topic rarely addressed in Egyptian television: pedophilia. The series explored the importance of parental awareness in detecting signs of abuse, emphasizing how open communication with children can be a critical defense against predators.
Taking to her official Facebook page, Dr. Morsy commended the show&rsquo;s creators for their dedication, revealing that the project was in development for over three years, undergoing rigorous research, workshops, and consultations with specialists. She described Lam Shamsya&nbsp;as a &ldquo;surgical&rdquo; drama&mdash;crafted with precision, care, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. In her words, &ldquo;This drama has the power to impact society faster than seminars, campaigns, and conferences, proving that storytelling remains the shortest and most effective path to awareness.&rdquo;
She also extended her gratitude to the team behind the show for prioritizing the well-being of the young actors involved, ensuring a professional yet nurturing environment throughout the filming process. The performances, particularly by the child actors, were hailed as deeply moving and instrumental in conveying the show&rsquo;s powerful message.

A New Era of Meaningful Drama
In a television landscape often dominated by lighthearted entertainment, Welad El-Shams&nbsp;and Lam Shamsya&nbsp;dared to be different. By tackling sensitive but crucial societal issues, these series have proven that drama can be more than just a source of entertainment; it can be a catalyst for change. Welad El-Shams&nbsp;concluded with a real-life documentary featuring actual heroes, adding an extra&nbsp;value&nbsp;of authenticity and emotional depth. Meanwhile, Lam Shamsya&nbsp;positioned therapists as pivotal figures in children&rsquo;s lives, emphasizing the urgent need for mental health awareness in Egyptian society.
Through these series, audiences gained deeper insight into struggles that often go unseen. And with leaders like Dr. Maya Morsy acknowledging their impact, it&rsquo;s clear that television is evolving into a powerful tool for education, empathy, and societal transformation.
