Taharruš—sexual harassment in the Arab world illus-trated on the example of Egypt. Part 2


Abstract

Group sexual harassment in the Arab World, so called ta arruš, has reached an extraordinary extent in recent years. The problem remains unsolved despite various state actions and social initiatives. The text argues that the failure of the initiatives and information campaigns results from the fact that those actions and initiatives locate the causes outside the cultural and religious system, while it is the social structure itself, maintained by the universal nomos of religion and culture, that generates sexual frustrations which are in turn being vented in a manner combin‑ ing elements of teasing and aggression. This is the second part of the text—the first contained a presentation of the problem, this part offers its analysis and explanation.
