Egypt - Harassment protest
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 crowds of rowdy men in the streets.
Their idea was simple: to patrol downtown Cairo and shame men who harass women by cornering them and spray-painting "I'm a harasser" on their backs.
That proved pretty much impossible, however. The small group was outnumbered by boys and men who mocked them, some blaming women for bringing harassment by the way they dress.
