2014-03-19 |
[An Nahar] A case of sexual harassment in one of Egypt's largest universities has sparked outrage after the dean said the women's outfit triggered the incident. In a video that has gone viral on social networks and has been covered by local media, Cairo University security guards escort a student wearing tight black pants and a long sleeved pink top after she hid in a toilet from dozens of male students who were sexually harassing her. More than 99 percent of women in Egypt have been subjected to a form of harassment, according to a study carried out in 2013 by U.N. Women. |
