Egyptian protesters took to the street again on Tuesday to demand an end to sexual violence, as campaigns against the repeated attacks in central Cairo pick up steam. “A woman’s voice is a revolution,” the protesters — both men and women– shouted, brandishing large flags of female Egyptian icons. Also, hundreds of Egyptians marched on Monday protesting against President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood at the Presidential Palace in Heliopolis. | Democracy, elections and voting at Democracy Chronicles
