Sexual Harassment in Egypt

Sexual harassment in Egypt involves unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behaviors that violate a person's dignity or create an intimidating, hostile environment. It can occur in public spaces, workplaces, or educational institutions and affects women and men, though women are often most vulnerable. Despite legal provisions and societal awareness, reporting remains challenging due to cultural stigmas, fear of retaliation, and limited enforcement. Addressing sexual harassment requires ongoing legal, social, and educational efforts to promote respectful behavior and protect victims' rights.
