DI MESIR nan Islami 83% perempuan setempat (tentunya berjilab ato pake
burga) pernah dilecehkan secara seksual oleh Muslim. 98% perempuan
pendatang (tourists) juga pernah mengalami pelecehan seksuil.

Ternyata jilbab tidak mempan dg laki2 yg memang tidak beradab dan gila
sex.

Satu2nya jalan agar perempuan tidak menjadi korban pelecehan seksuil
ialah dg meningkatkan harkat dan martabat kaum perempuan. Selama
perempuan masih dianggap hina, dianggap sbg sexobject yg hala
diperlakukan dg jahat - selama itu kaum perempuan akan terus dilecehkan.

Cairo teens arrested for 'flirting' November 21, 2008, 6:08 am

Egyptian police have rounded up hundreds of teenage boys in Cairo in a
day-long crackdown on sexual harassment.

"We have arrested a large number of boys who were flirting with girls,"
Cairo's police director Faruq Lashin said.

About 400 teenagers, aged between 15 and 17, were arrested on Wednesday
and will be brought before a judge, he said.

Police targeted teenagers in front of schools, universities and along
the Nile's banks, he said.

The teenagers were expected to be fined, a police official said.

Women's rights groups in Egypt have long campaigned against sexual
harassment and assault in Cairo, accusing police of ignoring the
phenomenon.

On Monday, a Cairo court jailed a teenager for one year for sexually
assaulting two women. Another teenager, a 17 year old, is facing trial
on the same charge.

At least 34 men were arrested after they allegedly assaulted women in an
affluent Cairo neighbourhood during a Muslim holiday in January.

Such convictions are relatively rare in Egypt , which does not have a
law defining sexual harassment, but a court in October sentenced a man
to three years in jail for groping a woman.

Women's rights activists welcomed that ruling and said it was
unprecedented in Egypt .

The Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights (ECWR) issued a survey this
summer saying 83 per cent of Egyptian women and 98 per cent of foreign
women in Egypt had experienced sexual harassment.

The study said only 12 per cent of the 2,500 women who reported cases of
sexual harassment to ECWR went to the police with their complaint.
