E-gypped

A recent survey showed that 62 per cent of Egyptian admitting that they sexually harassed women, while 83 per cent of Egyptian women reported having been sexually harassed. Nearly half of women said the abuse occurred daily-- including by touched or ogled by men, having sexually explicit remarks shouted at them, and being openly exposed to men's genitals.

This is the country that tried to deny government ID cards to those in religious minorities, treats being gay (or having AIDS) as a crime, and continues to help the Bush administration conduct torture.
