YEMEN: Verbal harassment can not only be humiliating and insulting, it can also make women feel guilty and ashamed, especially if their families know about it. Some parents or husbands would prohibit their daughters or wives from leaving the house alone, or at least place greater restrictions on them. “I’m in my first year at university and I have never come to university by myself. I come with either my father or brother,” said Rawida, a 19-year-old Sana’a University student. “Hopefully I can find a girlfriend in my class to come and go with instead of my family members,” she said, adding “I am afraid I will face harassment.”
