Website to map harassment of women in Cairo

Nearly every woman in the Egyptian capital has experienced leering, whistles, groping or other sexual harassment in the street, according to some studies. Soon they will be able to instantly speak out on the internet.

A planned website, Harrasmap, will allow women to quickly report instances of harassment via text message or micro blogging website Twitter. They will be loaded onto a digital map of Cairo to show hotspots and areas that might be dangerous for women. The data will be shared with activists, media and police.
