#MeToo trend sees victims of sexual abuse break their silence
--:--
This morning we chat about #MeToo trend on social media, in which celebrities and everyday people have flooded social media with personal accounts of sexual assault and harassment over the last few days, responding to calls to break the culture of silence around such abuse. The massive global response was triggered by allegations recently made public against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who is accused of rape and abuse dating back decades. To chat more about this is Dr. Samantha van Schalkwyk, a Senior Researcher at the Office of the Chair in Research on Historical Trauma and Transformation at Stellenbosch University
