The Egyptian government’s response has typically been to downplay the extent of the problem or to seek to address it through legislative reform alone.

What a surprise.

Since November 2011, police have stayed away from Tahrir Square during bigger protests, to avoid clashes with protesters. This has left women protesters unprotected, and the men involved in the gang attacks and rapes secure in the knowledge that they will not be arrested or identified by police, Human Rights Watch said.
Women’s rights groups reported at least 19 cases of mob sexual assaults in Tahrir square in January, including six women who required urgent medical assistance, as well as 10 in November 2012, and 7 in June 2012. In January, one of the cases reported to the anti-sexual harassment group was a woman who was raped with a bladed weapon that cut her genitals.

My question is why do these women keep going back? Is protesting in that country so important that it's worth all this?

"At the height of the attack, I looked up and saw 30 individuals on a fence. All of them had smiling faces, and they were recording me with their cellphones. They saw a naked woman, covered in sewage, who was being assaulted and beaten, and I don’t know what was funny about that. This is a question that I’m still thinking about, I can’t stop my mind from thinking about it."

I'm sure they were all good little muslim boys. Their fathers are all no doubt very proud of their wonderful well-behaved offspring. Chips off the old block, all. |
