Sex mobs target Egypt's women

’Men don’t have to worry about being caught’: Sex mobs target Egypt’s women

i saw this in the news today.. women can't walk down the street in Egypt for fear of being sexually aussalted.. this is unjust in so many ways and my anger can only be filtered through praying for justice to come to Egypt.

i remember when i was in Bangladesh a little less than 2 years ago. it is mostly Muslim and even though we were white, we had extreme limitations with how we dressed and acted in public. mostly because of how the men reacted to us. when we were out in the village, we had to stay inside the gates for protection.. not because we were white, but because we were women. i will never forget one of the days i was sitting inside.. some of the girls were cooking food.. and i was peering through the cracks in the brick outside at all of the boys playing soccer wishing i was able to play as well... and thought... wow.. i will leave this place and these girls will still be here.. trapped inside for their own 'safety' .. it angers me because i know what it feels like.. it angers me because its not okay for any person to be treated this way just because of their gender.

please keep Egypt in your prayers in this season of torment and corruption.
