How to report sexual assault in Cairo
This is what we have read and stored about reporting in Cairo. Read only the part you need. You do not have to decide anything today.
Some of this comes from support organisations, published research or consular guidance rather than an official source in Egypt. Sources are listed below.
where to report
You can go to any Cairo police station to file a report. The National Council for Women, headquartered in Cairo, runs a Complaints Office hotline, 15115, for legal, social, and psychological advice, available daily according to Egyptian media reporting.
what to bring
No document is required to file a police report in Cairo. You will be asked to describe the assailant, and where and when the incident took place. Bring identification if you have it, and try to preserve clothing, texts, or messages that may hold evidence.
the exam window
A forensic doctor appointed by the prosecutor carries out the exam at a government hospital in Cairo, and it is free if ordered by police. According to UK government guidance, the usual forensic time window is about 2 days for oral or digital penetration, 3 days for anal penetration, and up to 7 days for vaginal penetration.
the deadline
There is no deadline for filing the report, according to UK government guidance, though reporting sooner helps preserve evidence. No official Egyptian source sets out a fixed limitation period for prosecuting rape, so treat that point as unconfirmed.
support organisations
People near you who do this every day.
These are independent of Escrow. They can sit with you through a report, and they can also just talk.
