Survived

So much sexual violence in the news today.

An Egyptian General admits to administering forced 'virginity tests' to women protesting in Tahrir Square. These tests were ostensibly to prove that the generals didn't rape the protestors, when in fact, I'm sure you can guess what the 'test' itself entailed.

In keeping with the theme, an Egyptian banker was arrested for imprisoning a hotel maid in his room at The Pierre, while groping her. She was able to escape, and reported immediately to a manager who did not display the same sense of urgency. He was arrested the following day.

A Bangladeshi woman took matters into her own hands, literally, when she chopped off the penis of her would-be rapist.

And finally, 85-year-old New York woman was sexually assualted and robbed around 5 Monday morning. She is in the hospital and stable, he is still at large.
