Egypt's sexual harassment of women 'epidemic'

Egypt's sexual harassment of women 'epidemic'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19440656

"Campaigners in Egypt say the problem of sexual harassment is reaching epidemic proportions, with a rise in such incidents over the past three months. For many Egyptian women, sexual harassment - which sometimes turns into violent mob-style attacks - is a daily fact of life, reports the BBC's Bethany Bell in Cairo............"

Ya' gotta' love this bit

".........."If the girls were dressed respectably, no-one would touch them," one of them said. "It's the way girls dress that makes guys come on to them. The girls came wanting it - even women in niqab."

One of his friends told me the boys were not to blame, and that there was a difference between women who wore loose niqabs and tight ones.

A woman who wore a tight niqab was up for it, he added......................"

I remember that during Operation Bright Star it was a bad problem for the female troops who had to interact with Eqyptian soldiers and civilians. They were flat getting groped anytime that they were by themselves. We actually had to post male guards outside of the portable toilets so that the females could safely use them.
