Making matters complicated, approximately 70 percent of the men surveyed admitted to participating in harassing women, not taking matters seriously and even blaming women. Mohsen Reda, an Egyptian Member of Parliament, said women should be dressed more modestly as “a lot of our youth can’t afford marriage so it is only normal for some harassment to take place.”

This is not a new problem. In fact, the problem has been simmering silently since the fall of 2006, when dozens of men and boys attacked and assaulted women outside a downtown a Cairo cinema. In a mob style attack, the perpetrators attempted to grope and tear at any passing woman’s clothes in the October attack. On the streets of Cairo in 2006, eyewitnesses and citizen reporters’ pictures were clear proof that terror against women had taken place, despite denials by police and the Ministry of Interior. Some of the photos revealed police watching from a distance in amusement and indifference to the women’s predicament.

“There is no law criminalizing sexual harassment in Egypt,” says New York based and award-winning Washington Post columnist, Mona Eltahawy. A native of Egypt, international speaker on Arab and Muslim issues and former reporter for Reuters news in Cairo and Jerusalem, Eltahawy has been vigilant in her stand on human rights and women’s rights. “Police often refuse to report women’s complaints,” added Eltahawy. “And when it is the police themselves who are harassing women, then clearly women’s safety is far from a priority in Egypt.”

I wouldnt talk to a teenager in the pub about football, why would I on here? shouldnt you be out or something? Enjoying your life? Jeez at your age I was out every night.

Missed your one-line post at first. His being a Jew and being a cunt aren't related, but both are true. @Danny: Nothing you said in any way addressed what I posted. I didn't say anything about isolated incidents or whatever else you said. Try to keep up. The article also notes that soldiers rescued her along with women, and that sexual assaults had become prevalent after Mubarak 'supporters' (also known paid minions of the interior ministry) began to attack. Like I said, this is the work of Mubarak's cronies, and I don't expect any better from people who get paid to beat and torture their countrymen and, yes, sexually assault their countrymen. Their crimes have no bearing on the rest of Egyptians or on anyone else. @Wacky: Nice try. You said, "why is she putting herself in amongst them fucking savages anyway", obviously meaning Egyptians (since she clearly didn't put herself amongst rapists intentionally), then tried to pass it off to mean you were only calling the ones who assaulted her savages. I don't care if you meant it with malice or not, my point is that it has become so (wrongly) acceptable to aim abuse at Arabs/Muslims. I'll ask you again. If civilian women had the guts to go in and help, where were the civilian men? I would expect the heavily American funded army to do the right thing. I wonder if you can try and turn this on its head? "About 60 percent of Egyptian women and 98 percent of foreign women are harassed on a daily basis, according to a 2008 study published by the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights"

Despite a 2-1 loss being a good away result, I cant help but feel that has taken the sheen off our win last night. Annoyed.

Maybe you can explain why protesters anxious to get their message out would assault international news media figures? THEY WOULDN'T. The multitude of attacks on reporters, including this one, were instigated and carried out by Mubarak's cronies in the interior ministry. That's pretty much common knowledge by now. But thanks for the implication about 'that whole area', you fucking yahudi cunt, that was really classy. One rape in Egypt = all Egyptians are rapists, is that it? I thought we left that kind of thinking behind in the 19th century. Of course, 'thinking' seems a little beyond you. Aren't you complaining about him using stereotypes, then basically calling him a Jewish Cunt? No response? The loony left just sling mud and run away under any real scrutiny, its always been the way.

How many places on earth would you get a group of 200 and at least some of them saying "wait this is wrong" and intervening? The fact it was women who saved her says it all. Where were all the concerned males whilst this was going on? ATP, I really think that you need to think twice before mud slinging because, the best form of defence here is definitely not attack.

Yet you still cant resist having a dig. Leazes seems alright to me, Im not sure what has happened between you two but it seems to have gotten out of control. Nothing worse than a bit of blue on blue.

I wouldnt know, ours is in Stoke. I am sure they are perfectly nice people.

Just surprises me that Steve would skrimp on a phone what with being so minted and that.

It is, what does the torch do the curve can't like? Suck you off? What you got? Touch screen, bigger screen, slider, 5mp camera compared to a 2. 4 gig memory...list goes on and on

"I'm a lad" You certainly are fella.

Yeah curve is the most basic: Curve > Bold > Storm / Torch. Im sure it will be fine tho. more than adequate for your needs.

Difference is Monkey, you are occasionally funny with it.

You can tell Ketsbaia's never had a bird.

It wasnt fantastic but that was 100% down to the way negative way Milan played. Personally I thought it was an interesting game. Right result too in a David v Goliath clash. I can see what he means, despite the huffing and puffing from both sides, chances were limited. I was supporting one of the teams involved so I spent the whole game like a cat on a hot tin roof but as a neutral, I can see why it wouldnt be considered the greatest.

I have but fortunatly I am not a desperate animal. Joking aside, what does this say about that country? In fact that whole area. I will never be holidaying there again.

Surely that's to do with the network though? T-Mobile mines is on. Anyway I really, really like it, toontastic looks shite on it like but apart from that I like it. Got the Spender tune as me ring tone Im surprised a man of your means went entry level Steavie, which model did you get?

I m blackberry through and through have been for years. Been waiting for this one to come out on company phones so I can get one. I have a mate whos got one and he seems to like it (but doesnt rave about it) going to get it anyway as i refuse to turn into a iphone c0ck and wouls like to continue being available for conversation down the pub rather than playing on my phone.

ignoring the blatent bait at the end there, thats almost a compliment Stevie cheers. They showed all that is bad about European football tonight, diving, snidey pulling and pushing, petulence, outright dangerous tackles. I cant believe Corluka acepted that c**t Flaminis apology, he was at it all game flying in. Still has the scum in him. Still we should have a team of 22 at the lane right? Do the Italians change sides when their losing???

Its officially a love in

I'd only be 4/7 against Jordan like. No one hard has ever had a voice like you pet.
