The distinction between physical and verbal abuse within the context of sexual harassment led to a wider and debatable definition of the term; is verbal slur considered a form of sexual harassment? According to Monica Ibrahim, Harassmap’s Communication Manager, an initiative intended to create an environment rejecting all kinds of sexual harassment, harassment is “any word or action which has any kind of sexual connotation and is provoking the space of the person being harassed without his/her consent”. Unfortunately, the heightened focus on sexual harassment did not lead to an increase of rejection from the bystanders’ point of view. While sexual harassment is a result of a mixture of factors, Ibrahim asserts on “the importance of changing societal perspective regarding sexual harassment.” Vigorous efforts must be exerted in order to restructure public spaces in Egypt as safe and equal in rights for both men and women.
