Online Sexual Violence in Egypt
Documenting and Analyzing Incidents of Online Sexual Coercion and Extortion (2019-2022)
2.Difficulty determining the locations of the incidents of online sexual coercion
and extortion in Egypt.
3.The majority of published news about OSCE incidents is limited to incidents reported by
victims/survivors for which legal actions were taken against the perpetrators. This makes the
rate of incidents observed in the press disproportionate to the actual incidents of online sexual
coercion and extortion.
