“Slayed by Harassment” Campaign

Egypt has one of the highest rates of sexual harassment in the world.  Despite amendments in the Egyptian Penal Code and the definition of sexual harassment in Egyptian law in 2014, sexual harassment continues and the incidents of sexual harassment have taken a more violent turn, which, in some cases, might result in the harasser killing the victim and whoever is helping her.

Therefore, Tadwein for Gender Studies conducted a campaign on social media titled #Slayed_by_harassment, documenting some stories of those who were killed by sexual harassers, in order to show the severity of this crime.
