Egypt toughens penalty for sexual harassment and bullying ...Kuwait

Egypt recently enacted new amendments to laws that toughen the penalty for sexual harassment and bullying, a much-awaited move in a country whose capital, Cairo, was ranked "the world's most dangerous city for women". The Egyptian parliament on Sunday, 12 November, approved new government-drafted amendments to the penal code, hardening penalties for sexual harassment and bullying crimes. If a sexual harassment crime is committed against a woman at the workplace or in public transportation, the perpetrator is sentenced to no less than three years in prison and ordered to pay 300,000 Egyptian pounds (amounting to around US$9,700). The jail term is increased from 5 years
