The #metoo campaign became a worldwide phenomenon, through the tweet was made against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein by the actress Alyssa Milano on October 15, 2017. In India the campaign took off on October 7, 2018, when the actress Tanushree Dutta made serious allegations against the actor Nana Patekar, narrating her experiences while she was working with him in a film in 2008. The impact of the awareness created by #metoo campaign was such that well known personalities including the Union minister M J Akbar had to step down when the sexual harassment charges were leveled against them.In the backdrop of all these incidents, the study analyses the role of India media in framing of #metoo movements in India. The research paper analyses Indian news media’s coverage of this social media movement. The study focuses on the analyses of 40 news articles in two major national dailies in India.

“…Such standards of respectability may discourage survivors from diverse demographic groups from disclosing due to fear of not having their accusations taken seriously. Studies have demonstrated the extension of these inequalities onto digital platforms, meaning not everyone can successfully harness technology to garner support and be heard in a meaningful way (Burke 2017;Fileborn 2017;Mack and McCann 2018;Serisier 2018). Awareness must exist that there is a certain type of privilege that comes from being able to speak out, and victims/survivors may vary in their capacity to effectively engage in online disclosure.…”

“…Some victims may opt to not disclose due to a lack of trust or interest in institutional responses. This IJCJ&SD 170 2020 9(4) www.crimejusticejournal.com may be the case for many survivors belonging to marginalized groups, whose previous experiences with state institutions have been negative, who fear violent state-sanctioned responses toward their already vulnerable communities, or whom the state has historically failed to protect (e.g., racial minorities, LGBT+ populations) (Mack and McCann 2018). Others, Fileborn (2017) added, might not see online disclosure as a useful avenue for meeting their needs.…”

Social media and digital platforms are being used to disclose sexual and dating violence experiences and to unite victims/survivors in social, educational, and advocacy efforts. While digital disclosure can be empowering, there are reasons why some individuals do not disclose. This article focuses on the nuances underlying decisions to (and not to) disclose victimization experiences online, and also presents a call to action, particularly for researchers and practitioners working on sexual violence intervention and prevention. Through a comparative, international literature review, the authors highlight research on factors affecting disclosure decisions while also considering contemporary issues that may impact these decisions. They conclude that, in responding to victims’ and survivors’ “justice” needs (e.g., physical and emotional safety, conscious choice, and empowerment), an intersectional feminist lens is essential in today’s complex digital world in affording an understanding of variation in disclosure practices. When combined with trauma-informed care, such an approach holds promise for transforming existing online environments into more inclusive and compassionate socio-technological spaces.

“…Furthermore, controlling images that figure Black women as hypersexual or parasitic drains on the welfare state make them less legible as victims of sexual violence (Bumiller, 2008; Collins, 2008; Griffin, 2013; Phillips & Griffin, 2015). With few exceptions—such as serial predators or those who are marked as abnormal “monsters”—when White men are accused of raping women, the act is often minimized, dismissed, or normalized (Mack & McCann, 2018).…”

By attending to the successful campaign to recall and unseat Judge Aaron Persky in retaliation for his sentencing decision in the sexual assault trial of Stanford University athlete Brock Turner, we argue that the campaign constituted a White intimate public that directed White rage toward the judge for his perceived betrayals of a White paternal social contract. Because the campaign posited Persky’s willingness to inflict carceral violence upon Turner as the measure of his fidelity to the state’s obligations with regard to sexual violence and equality under the law, it legitimized carceral solutions that disproportionately harm communities of color. Such a centering of carceral solutions betrayed the public’s affective divestment from the needs of marginalized communities.
