#MeToo movement: Empowering or harmful?
--:--
Cape Town has been rocked by allegations of sexual abuse within the Muslim community, as highlighted in a video which has gone viral on social media. Since then, more women have come out with their experiences of the alleged abuse.
Is this the start of a local #MeToo movement? Have victims of abuse become so frustrated with the justice system that they have to resort to outing their abusers in public. And what are the social, legal and even religious implications?
On the show this evening, we have:
-Associate Professor of Public Law, Wahieda Ameen
-Jameelah Omar, a senior lecturer in Public Law at UCT
-Nuraan Osman, director of Ihata shelter for women and children
-Islamic scholar Shaykh Fakruddien Uwaisi
