Together,
Demanding a Law to
Protect Women
from Sexual Harassment
On March 6, 2008
the
The new Million
Signatures Campaign has been well-received, and many private companies even
contacted ECWR to declare their support of the petition and offer to collect
signatures.
The Campaign has
also attracted media attention, many television channels, newspapers and
magazines covered it and ECWR's work against sexual harassment. Actor and
television host Hussein el Imam announced in his program "Eh el
Nizam" on el Mehwar channel his solidarity with the Campaign and dedicated
one full episode to discussing sexual harassment and ECWR’s activities.
Reports from the
ECWR’s research and
analysis of the legal situation regarding harassment, conducted with a team of
lawyers and legal experts, found that the current penal code doesn't specify or
mention sexual harassment directly, which results in lack of awareness,
recognition of the problem and enforcement.
ECWR started the
Million Signature Campaign to allow everyone in the society to demonstrate
their support for an improvement to the law by signing the petition in
solidarity with our campaign.
