Revision as of 05:13, 12 January 2016 by AjaxSmack (talk | contribs) (new stub article)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Taharrush gamea (Template:Lang-ar taḥarrush jamāʿī) or collective sexual harassment is a type of sexual harassment in crowds. Reports by the North Rhine-Westphalia interior ministry and the German Federal Criminal Police Office attributed the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany to the practice. The German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA) stated on January 9, the incidents of collective sexual harassment were a phenomenon known in Arab countries as "taharrush gamea" ("communal sexual harassment"). Taharrush gamea is noted in Egypt as a kind of "'lighter' sexual abuse or gang rape" and was said to have occurred during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 in the unrest at Tahrir Square.
