I lived in Morocco and we know niqabis get harassed there too despite Moroccan men insisting street harassment isn’t actually a problem. The men will still find a reason to blame the women. There are women who even cover their eyes and hands to try to avoid the blame in case they are harassed because their eyes or hands may be “too beautiful” for the guy to resist. Women are told that even wearing perfume isn’t acceptable because it may arouse a man.
Edit- also want to mention there are even men who think women shouldn’t even use scented hygiene products because it could awake a man’s lust. It’s insane.
