Egyptian Streets

An 18-year-old was killed and his 23-year-old brother wounded after being accused of sexually harassing a girl in the south of Beni Suef, Egypt during the first few days of Eid. According to private Egyptian newspaper Youm7, the victim was stabbed in the abdomen during a fight with a man identified as the brother of the sexual harassment victim.

Police were sent to the scene after the victim’s body arrived in the hospital, arresting the alleged murderer. Court proceedings and a full investigation were also commenced following the killing. Sexual harassment, which plagues 99.3 percent of women in Egypt according to a UN report, is common during public holidays.

Though numbers of harassment have been in decline, with few cases reported during this Eid, a number of women have been harassed.
