With Her Not Against Her
Topic: Harassment/violence/bullying
Country: Egypt
In rural areas in Egypt including the target village of ''Nazlat Omara'', poverty and illiteracy are prevalent. Low socioeconomic conditions and high unemployment rates cause negative social practices such as sexual harassment in public places. In order to decrease cases of sexual harassment in the public transport station in Nazlet Omara, community action members will advocate for the presence of a group of police officers responsible for security who are sensitive to gender-based violence. A variety of advocacy activities will take place to engage the maximum number of community members including local religious and opinion leaders in addition to law enforcing representative staff in the village.
