Poll: Almost Half of Egyptian Women Harassed Daily
[ AFP] Almost half of Egyptian women are sexually harassed on a daily basis, the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights said on Thursday after a poll of 2,020 people in Cairo. 83% of Egyptian women and 98% of foreign women said they had been harassed at some point, while 46% of Egyptian women and 52% of foreign women said they were harassed daily. The center's director, Nihad Abul Qomsan, said 62% of Egyptian men admitted harassing women, including those wearing Islamic headscarves. "This shows that the belief that harassment is linked to women who wear indecent clothing is false," she said.
