Egypt- Keeping women out- Sexual violence against women in the public sphere
Abstract
This publication presents a report on Sexual violence against women in the public sphere. This report is based on the findings of an investigation into violence against women in the public sphere in Egypt, conducted by FIDH, Nazra for Feminist Studies, the New Woman Foundation and the Uprising of Women in the Arab World. This report sets out cases of rape, sexual assault and harassment documented by the investigation, as well as by other human rights and women’s rights organisations and grass-roots initiatives. It analyses some of the root causes behind such violence and highlights the responsibility of the state in preventing violence against women, prosecuting perpetrators and protecting survivors
