After second video is shared online days later, accosted women no longer seen as victims
In a minutelong video uploaded to YouTube last month, two young Saudi women walk along the waterfront promenade in the kingdom's Red Sea city of Jeddah as a group of young men jeer and follow them until the women become visibly agitated.
The video went viral and set off a public debate on the rights of women in a country that distinguishes itself as an Islamic state upholding segregation of the sexes that is among the strictest in the world.
