I still remember the tears falling
from my cousin eyes when she told me how little boys have touched her body
strongly while she was walking in dark street she was only 11years old . I
remember how it frightened me that I didn’t get out alone without my father.it
was sience 12 years
Sexual harassment spreader in Egypt
since 2003 and as there was no one fight it even women feel shame to say that
she harassed its increased gradually to
reach its peak at 2011.
Now days .Sexual harassment has scary violent
face as since 6 months huge group of
youth stripped lady clothing in Tahrir square and harassed her , lady was
rescued hardly and entered hospital in horrible case there were several wounds
in her body and vaginal bleeding.
Although there are many Egyptian
non- governmental organizations fight sexual harassment like (shoft Tahrosh) ,
(catch harasser) and (harassment map) it hasn’t real influence as Egyptian
police didn’t consider sexual harassment a real crime although Egyptian law
have increased its penalty to Life
imprison.
The problem is very huge and it
seemed to be clueless as little child consider that sexual harassment is sort
of having fun and youth justify it aas women be happy when she is harassed and
the victim keep silence as the society
always think that she is wrong she wore sexy cloths although most of Egyptian
women wear veil.
The only way to stop this horrible
phenomenon will be by learning child to respect woman and achieve huge ethics
development and making groups of volunteers resist sexual harassment with
learning women self defense and increasing role of anti- sexual harassment
organizations.
