Is Gaza set to break sexual harassment taboo?
Activists from the conservative Gaza Strip recently launched the #MeTooGaza hashtag on social media to encourage sexual harassment victims to talk about their experiences and share their stories.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Sexual harassment is taboo in the conservative Palestinian society, and female victims of harassment stay mum for fear of having their reputation tarnished.
On March 29, activists in the Gaza Strip launched a social media campaign to encourage victims to talk about their sexual harassment experiences. The #MeTooGaza hashtag was launched on Twitter and a page on Sarahah (Arabic for Honesty) was created, which is a social media application that allows its subscribers to anonymously share stories and receive constructive feedback.
