The number of sex attacks and rapes against female protesters in Egypt's Tahrir Square has hit 91 in just four days.
Vicious mobs attacked the women as millions of protesters took to the streets to demand President Mohammed Morsi step down.
Women were beaten with metal chains, sticks, and chairs, and attacked with knives - some of the attacks lasted for 45 minutes before they were able to escape.
Last week, a 22-year-old Dutch journalist was gang-raped in Tahrir Square and had to undergo surgery for severe injuries - her horrifying rape is reminiscent of the violence at Tahrir Square in 2011 when CBS foreign correspondent Lara Logan was beaten and sexually assaulted by a 200-strong mob.
'The rampant sexual attacks during the Tahrir Square protests highlight the failure of the government and all political parties to face up to the violence that women in Egypt experience on a daily basis in public spaces,' said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.

Where the REAL “war on women” is being waged!!!

Liberal women regularly accuse conservatives of a “war on women” because we do not believe in killing innocent, unborn children. Liberal women think brutally gang raping women is ok. When women were regularly raped and assaulted during “occupy” protests there were no liberal women who complained.
Now we know where the “occupy” movement went.
Wonder if this came from the MB (Morsi) faction
It is chilling, kind of like beaten housewife syndrome.

Nothing to see here. Just Muslims practicing their religion. Move along.....
Only 91? They’re slipping.Guess they haven’t been reading their “holy” book lately.
I don’t recall anyone reporting on the number of attacks on women when it was the Muslim Brotherhood raging protests on Tahir Square. For that matter, the MB didn’t get there until about... ohhhhh.... few days ago???
But that won’t be reported on. NEVER.
And where is the National Association of Women?

Man...what does it take before the danger is understood and recognized?
How about Nancy Pelosi? Not a peep...
91. That’s a very precise number.
I don't know... send Katy Couric over there ?
