Are female students often harassed?
Even though many female students experience some form of harassment, rarely does it affect their overall attitude towards Yemen. It generally consists of verbal comments and stares, most often stemming from curiosity and the stereotypes of western women promoted by advertisements and movies. Physical harassment rarely happens. Female students with previous travel to Morocco or Egypt often report less harassment here in Yemen. For prospective female students who are concerned about what treatment to expect, we suggest that you contact a previous female student through our website.
