Everyone needs to reflect and look inside to questions what we believe in and why we believe what we believe in

Come a long way as we can now speak about this publicly as compared to 10 years ago.

There is solidarity in online community

Online conversations spark offline actions/confessions (BFM surat layang)

Representation

People with more power and privilege can use their platform to lead the way, and ripple effect can take place

Solidarity and people backing up the survivor helps

eg Sabrina Bennet where all fellow contestants backed her when she was receiving a lot of backlash when reporting/talking about her stalker

Always believe victims

But people in power like Siti Kasim still makes inappropriate comments eg towards Tashny

solidarity in numbers

Shahidan Kassim
petition for him to step down actually worked

But politicians are still making inappropriate comments in public and most of the time get away or are not charged

legal and institutional reforms are possible but cultural changes are trickier. How do we shift that?

unfortunately most of the time men still make decisions in our patriarchal society, hence a lot of talk but little action at the end, which discourages more from comig forward too

Sexual harrassment not limited to women. #METOO not limited to women, but involves men, trans, etc

LGBTQ+ narratives not as loud maybe because mostly from cis women.

also more dangerous for these communities to talk about these issues publicly as Malaysian laws threaten their existence

2017 - Weinstein - to Malaysia.

Social media conversations when #metoo first started, then more during mco:

Tashny
Twitter - Haikal Idris
BFM - Uma Pagan

Victim blaming still prevalent in our society
"why didnt you come forward earlier?"
fear of losing job
people's lack of empathy for the situation

What encouraged the individual to speak up? How did it help to strengthen individual power. How did it allow new kinds of subjectivities to be recognised and named? E.g. transpeople etc – allowing them to be recognised as political subjects

Is #metoo without shortcoming? Is there a downside to #metoo? Was harm created in the process and in what way?

# data[].attributes.body
Why does #metoo mean to you?What have we achieved with #metoo? How did it help the movement? In what way? What does this mean for us moving forward? How did the online and offline actions speak to and strengthen each other?

# data[].attributes.body
Whose narratives have we learnt? Whose narratives have we not heard of? Why is #metoo unable to surface these narratives? What are the barriers and challenges? Was there a diversity of actions?

# data[].attributes.body
When, where and how did #metoo happened in the local context? What was it responding to, is it a sustained or an immediate thing? How long did it last? What actions were taken? Who participated in the conversations? Who were named as perpetrator? Where did the conversation happened?

# data[].attributes.body
How did it enable people to gather, congregate, come together?  What resources or supports were made available to survivors? How did people come together to push back?Who had been fundamental in enabling the conversations? What roles do laws, government, civil society, individuals, platforms company played in this?

Think specifically how has technologies facilitates the movement.
