Sexual Harassment as Classed

Just a quick thought on sexual harassment (although I don't want to add to the craze developing around this important issue): Why is it that the forms of violence against women that we focus on are ones that are narrated only by one of the several social classes in Egypt? Why is it that we give importance to this form of gendered violence specifically and not think of the other multi-faceted forms of sexual harassment and exploitation? Why are we so willing to stick to our own colors and deny or ignore (consciously or unknowingly) other forms of sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women?
