There have been an increase in the number of reports of sexual assaults on women during demonstrations in and around Tahrir Square. Attacks have been experienced by both foreign and Egyptian women. We strongly advise women to avoid Tahrir Square and immediately surrounding areas during demonstrations.


Happy days

She did not pay attention to people's gazes, she did not seek the help of anyone, and did not wait for words of pity from others, but in a moment, she decided to face the young harasser in the middle of the road, and insisted on his arrest and hand him over to the police, and filed a report on the incident, to give him the title "Officially a harasser", and let him be haunted by the shame for the rest of his life, and to give a lesson for anyone who thinks of harassing any girl in street.
Translated from Al Masry Al Youm's Arabic website: ???? ???? ????? ??? «?????» ?????? | ?????? ?????? ????? ????? ?? ???

Can't translate the video, but basically she finishing some papers for work near City Stars when some jacka$$ on a delivery motorbike slowed down and grabbed her backside, she said she had only 2 choices, to let it go like she always does, or to give him a lesson.

So she grabbed him from his T-shirt and told him she's not letting him go till they're in the police station, she said she saw how scared he got, but he ran and left the motorbike.

Police came and the officer told her to go wait for him in the police station, 30/45 minutes later, the police officer came with the idiot handcuffed to the his hand

She's talking about how great it was to see him standing there too scared/ashamed to even look her in the eyes and looking down instead, she said that she doesn't think that she'd feel as good even after beating the sh!t outta him for 3 years

The brave girl's name is Donya Emad by the way

I am happy that they are now admitting this is a real problem here.

They're not............It's still the girl's fault.........

I remember seeing this for the first time, the first thought crossing my mind then was that she was lucky to be near City Stars, she wouldn't be able to do what she did where I live for example, or in many other "local" areas in Cairo after all!

But whether they admit it or not, I just hope all girls would act the way she did, cause the Egyptian saying (People only behave when they're scared, not when they're embarrassed) is so bloody true

Years ago I was outside the American Embassy with a young Egyptian girl who was applying for a visa and I was her sponsors representative.. her father whispered to my driver who then whispered to me, do your strings up on your top the father thinks you are a **** and should be ashamed I had a granddad style teeshirt on...I looked at the driver and the father and told him... No way am I doing it up, you should be ashamed to be sending your daughter out to provide money for you and your four wives and then turned my back on him.
The daughter laughed and told me good for you.

They have a real mixed up sense of proprietary and morals,

Lack of discipline from childhood, I hate seeing boys who are barely out of nappies treat any female around them like a piece of poor parenting skills or lack thereof is a huge problem in Egypt.

Also, lack of accountability.

True, add deprivation and lack of common sense, they're just stupid
