To be a woman in Egypt is to live with the crushing inevitability of sexual harassment. The magnitude of the problem is epidemic. Over the time, it has become a society in which, just leaving home is a daily nightmare. It took time and courage for women to expose their anguish, the way they are treated and many females who routinely experience the same on the streets. However, it appears that if you talk about this torture in public, you would be jailed, just like Amal Fathy. An actor and a former activist, who made a video on her Facebook account alleging sexual harassment has been given two years in prison and a fine on charges of 슬롯사이트œspreading false news.슬롯사이트�슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Egyptian Women Break The Internet and Gender Stereotypes By Performing Parkour.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천
