In this photo taken Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, Rifat al-Gureisy, 55, a member of the Egyptian National Circus, blows fire during a practice in Gaza City. The circus came to Gaza on Friday, accompanied by blaring music, juggling clowns and fire blowers — but getting it there required its own high-wire act. No women performers were included for fear of offending conservative Palestinians and the Gaza Strip's militant Hamas rulers, and the circus' lone lion and tiger were left behind because of the high cost of transporting them legally into Gaza.

Wearing vests painted with the slogan 'Anti-harassment', a group of volunteers confront a group of teasing young boys near Cairo's Tahrir Square. Instead of taking to the streets with air horns and toy guns and hissing at women like many of their peers, the small group of young Egyptian men tried to secure the streets of downtown Cairo during Eid al-adha, one of Islam’s most important holidays, a time when fears of sexual harassment spike. Their effort largely failed, but it shows the extent of the sexual harassment scourge facing Egypt and the government’s failures to address it. (AP Photo/ Maggie Fick)
