Half of Egyptian men are subjected to violence by their wives

Sexism against women in Egyptian society is revealed through some scary statistics.

Based on Interviews conducted by the United Nations in 2013, the International NGO Amnesty International says that 99% of Egyptian women are subject to sexual harassment and 91% of women between 14 and 49 were subjected to circumcision.

But, what about men who are subjected to physical violence by their wives?

A new study conducted by Luxor Institute for Studies, Dialogue and Development revealed that 50.6% of Egyptian men are victims of their wives’ physical violence and that a third of these women do not regret their actions.

The study also points out that violence is increasing among the illiterate to reach 87%, with the majority of women abusing their husbands. Also, 5.63% of them use sharp objects for their violent acts.
