This is in response to the report “Are women unsafe on Saudi streets?” in Saudi Gazette (July 29). I have been living in Jeddah for more than 20 years and have observed all kinds of things including harassment of women. This is a global phenomenon but what makes it shamefully unique here is the fearlessness and audacity of the youth harassing women. I have seen them harassing women on the roads in front of people without any shame or fear whatsoever and what is even worse that nobody bothers or dares to stop them. I honestly feel that women are treated with no respect at all. Azhar, Online response
