In this undated image made from video released by the producers of "Awel el Kheit" or "the Thread" which airs on the private TV station ONTV, a group of young men harass three girls in Cairo, Egypt, during a segment of an investigative story on sexual harassment. While not new to Egypt’s conservative society, sexual harassment has grown increasingly violent and visible in the nation, which has an embattled police force and an absence of legislation to address it. Egyptian law defines and criminalizes assault, but not sexual harassment.(AP Photo)

In this Monday, May 6, 2013 file photo, Egyptian boys follow two young women at the Giza Zoo as thousands gather to celebrate Sham el-Nessim, or “smelling the breeze,” in Giza, Egypt. Initiatives to counter sexual harassment in Egypt have mushroomed in recent months. Vigilantes groups have started protecting women at gatherings, particularly at large protests or during national holidays when groping and harassment in crowds is at an all-time high. Activists have offered self-defense classes for women and social networks sites have been started where women can "name and shame" their harassers.(AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo, File)

In this Friday, Feb. 1, 2013 photo, Tahrir Bodyguard volunteers gather in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt during a Friday protest, one week after the square was the site of attacks on more than 25 women on the second anniversary of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak. On Friday, over a dozen members fanned out in the central square, emblematic of what many still consider an ongoing revolution, to take up positions among thousands of demonstrators protesting President Mohammed Morsi’s rule. Wearing neon vests and hardhats, the group, which calls itself Tahrir Bodyguard, aims to deter potential assailants and evacuate women under assault by crowds in a country where sexual harassment is a reality of daily life.

A youth watches as young girls walk past near Cairo's Tahrir Square in this Sunday Oct 28 2012 photo. A group of Egyptian men had a mission for this year's Eid al-Adha, Islam's biggest holiday, which began Friday. They wanted to make some effort to stop sexual harassment of women, which in past years has spiked in Cairo during the holiday celebrations with the crowds of rowdy men in the streets. In past years, the Eid has seen major instances of harassment, with crowds of young men groping passing women — so heavily that women had to flee into shops, and for days afterward newspapers decried the mob attacks.
