A growing presence in international media, the ?sexual violence epidemic? in Egypt is gaining widespread attention globally. Egyptian journalist and author Dr. Shereen El Feki addresses the taboos surrounding sex and sexuality in the present-day Arab world in her new book Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World . In this discussion hosted by TIMEP, Dr. El Feki will address women?s issues in Egypt, particularly the rampant sexual violence found on Egyptian streets and the social and political implications of the perpetuation of the Egyptian culture of misogyny.
