An incident of sexual harassment or rape takes place every 30 minutes in Egypt, according to statistics from the National Center for Social and Criminological Studies, which says there are 20,000 victims of rape and sexual harassment annually.
As alarming as these figures are, experts agree that official reports do not present a complete picture because rape and sexual harassment remain taboo, as the idea prevails that a woman is responsible for anything that happens to her body.
