Murder prompts fresh calls for new sexual harassment laws in Egypt

Help

Activists in Egypt are asking for new laws on sexual harassment after a woman was killed last month as she confronted a man who had allegedly harassed her in a village near Assiut, in the south of the country.

Over the past week protesters took to the streets around the Presidential Palace in Cairo to demand women's rights be recognised.
