Statistics gathered by an organization dedicated to decreasing sexual harassment in Egypt showed an increase in harassment during the revolution.
Egypt experienced a weak security presence during the 25 January revolution, which has since gradually reversed.
HarassMap is an organization and website created by female activists to shed light on dangers of harassment. The website, HarassMap.org, compiles complaints from women and girls via SMS or the internet, creating an online map of harassment cases.
The map showed Cairo had the biggest number of cases, followed by Alexandria and Upper Egypt.
In downtown Cairo, Maadi and along the corniche, the map compiled 39 incidents of harassment by touching.
Other cases included 20 cat calls, 22 incidents of ogling and nine cases of indecent exposure, in addition to other incidents.
