“While I was in university, I was walking toward the train station with a friend heading home in the afternoon. An old man was walking his young daughter back from school bumped into me and grabbed my chest. Instead of supporting us, people in the street started saying 鈥渓et him go.. you are proving that you are not well behaved鈥.“It is impossible to think that any woman living in Egypt will one day walk in the streets without being verbally or visually harassed. It is extremely difficult to believe that the places that where once safe are no longer possible for humans to safely live in, more like for animals, and a source of fear for women. So any woman living in Egypt is living a desperate and miserable life because the basic forms of human rights do not exist for her. I want to live!”“I am now 64 years old, when I was in university, I used to live in a hostel. At the end of each week, I used to go to my grandparents house. One day, while I was coming back from my grandfather house to the hostel, I got into a bus full of people. One of the men on the bus started moving towards me and standing very close and stuck himself to me. I felt something abnormal was happening. I felt ashamed of what happened to me”“Walking home, a man on the street walked towards me and stroked my vagina. I just froze off and continued walking home” “Walking home from work. Teenager on a bicycle grabbed my chest and quickly cycled away before I could scream”
