Violence against women (VAW) continues to impose an important issue globally, not only of human rights violation, but also of social and economic burden on society in the form of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include health care needs and legal costs, while indirect costs include a decline in women’s productivity, loss of education and negative effects on children’s health and education. Egypt is not an exception in this regard. One-third of Egyptian women have ever experienced some form of spousal violence, with 25 percent claiming they were subjected to physical violence, 19 percent to emotional violence, and 4 percent to sexual violence according to the latest Demographic and Health Survey in Egypt (EDHS 2014).  This type of violence is chiefly perpetrated in domestic settings by their male intimate partners, in addition to other forms of VAW that women face in the public sphere, including verbal and sexual harassment, for instance, in their workplace or during their commute on the streets. Hence, this chapter overviews the different types of violence faced by Egyptian women in general and the main factors of vulnerability of violence, with a special focus on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Additionally, the chapter discusses the costs related to VAW leading to a number of context-specific policy recommendations to combat VAW in Egypt.
