During every Ramadan, a column is always written in a newspaper somewhere about the way girls dress during Ramadan, more often than not criticizing them.

ASLEEP ON THE STREET
The midday sun scorches the sidewalk where this young beggar sleeps, between the Greek Campus’s Library gate and Cilantro on Mohamed Mahmoud Street. His tattered shirt and dirty bare feet are obvious signs of the ever-present destitution on the streets between AUC’s campuses. (Hoda Hegazy / THE CARAVAN)
