A yr ago, @sabicakhan95 shared her story of being sexually assaulted in Makkah, #Islam’s holiest site in #Saudi Arabia. It was familiar bec I’d often shared my own story of being sexually assaulted there. To show solidarity w/her & inspired by @TaranaBurke, I started #MosqueMeToo
Here’s the thread where I started #MosqueMeToo - that includes an article about @sabicakhan95. Thank you to all the Muslim women who so bravely shared their stories of being sexually assaulted while on Hajj/at sacred sites and who continue to do so
Thank you to all the women who shared their #MosqueMeToo story knowing they would be attacked and called a liar. Those of us who can speak, must speak for our own sake and to give strength to those who - for now - are unable to. Love and solidarity ❤️✊🏽💜
