CAIRO — Statistics on violence and crimes against women released on Aug. 17 by the nongovernmental organization Edraak Foundation for Development and Equality indicated that only six cases of sexual extortion were reported in the second quarter of 2021.
Although this figure suggests that very few Egyptian women are victims of this crime, the reality is very different, according to Mohammed al-Yamani, the administrator and director of a platform called Qawem, which provides protection and support for women and girls against sexual violence and extortion.
