Australia, 2020
These two hashtags have been created during the Covid-19 pandemic respectively by Dr Jennifer Mae Hamilton and Dr Astrida Neimanis, both of whom started the reading group and blog COMPOSTING Feminisms and Environmental Humanities in September 2015. The first one aims to collect “tales of simultaneous housework, schoolwork, workwork: tales of woe, joy, gender, logistics, environment, failure, stress, success, resistance, solidarity etc"… during the quarantine. The second one collects “stories of shaving your head, cutting your own hair, cutting your family/household members' hair, or getting into some bodiliy "rewilding" in times of social distancing”

#IAMNOTAFRAIDTOTELLTHETRUTH
Russia, Ukraine, 2016
Russian speaking women created a movement in social media where they publicly shared stories of abuse, and organized flash mobs focused on pointing out gender sexual violence at home and on the streets.
The movement helped visibilize levels of gender violence, create statistics, a safe space to speak up, and even technology, such as the ring-looking alarm button for women in urgent situations.

France, 2017
French journalist Sandra Muller created the french version of #metoo, #BalanceTonPorc starting with a series of Twitter posts recounting her experiences with Mr. Eric Brion, "a media consultant and former executive at the public broadcaster France Télévisions and the horse-racing channel Equidia."
"In her posts, she also encouraged women to speak out against sexual harassment, and tens of thousands of them adopted the #BalanceTonPorc hashtag, spurring a wider discussion on gender relations and sexual norms in France." (Aurelien Breeden, NY Times)

Chile, 2019
El 25.11.2019 (Día internacional de la eliminación de la violencia contra la mujer), el colectivo chileno 'Las Tesis' organizó el performance feminista “Un Violador en tu Camino”. La letra del performance adapta textos de Rita Segato y transforma la canción de los carabineros de Chile “un amigo en tu camino” para denunciar la violencia del sistema patriarcal contra la mujer. El performance se hizo viral y se convirtió en el himno de la lucha feminista actual. Ha sido traducido a múltiples idiomas y organizado por mujeres en muchos países alrededor del mundo.

España, 2017
(i believe you) During the trial of “La Manada” (5 guys accused of gang-raping a girl in Pamplona in 2016), the defence’s strategy was to question the behaviour of the victim, implying she consented because she didn’t fight back. Initially the gang was only charged with sexual abuse because the judges could not prove they used violence to rape her (??). The response in social media with #yositecreo & #noesno, as well as the public demonstrations were so overwhelming that the case had to be revised by the federal court. Finally in 2019 “La Manada” was sentenced to 15 years in prison for rape and intimidation charges.

#Mariellepresente
Brazil, 2018
Brazilian politician Marielle Franco was shot and killed on March 2018 in Rio di Janeiro. She was black, gay, single mother, a feminist, activist for human rights and spoke out about police violence in Rio’s slums. It is still not clear who ordered the murder of Marielle, but much has been speculated about the possible involvement of Bolsonaro. #mariellepresente honours her legacy and the importance of her political work in Brasil, and of her image as “an intersectional representation of the many wars being fought”.

Poland, 2018
These hashtags reference the pro-abortion demonstrations in Poland and translate as “black protest” or “women’s hell”. Recently, the polish Parliament tried to push for further abortion restrictions taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic. The proposed changes included abolishing access to termination due to fetal abnormalities and a ban on sexual education. Thanks to the protests of women the plans of the Parliament to vote on these restrictions have been postponed. Besides the widespread use of these hashtags, women in Poland found creative ways to demonstrate on the streets amid social distancing norms, for example carrying signs while waiting in line outside of shops or on their car windows. International support on social media has also been important.

#sexualworkers
2019
Sexual workers have been left outside of government policies to help workers during the Covid-19 crisis, evidencing the failure of the system, which marginalizes them and leaves them unprotected and extremely vulnerable to violence and to the violation of their civil and human rights. The hashtag exists since long time ago and has been used by collectives of sexual workers in Latin America and Spain to raise their voice and evidence the inequalities they face on a daily basis. It is urgent that we create solidarity to their cause.

USA, 2018
The hashtag was first used in a letter signed by a group of Hollywood actresses after the Weinstein accusations came to light. The letter, which was published by the New York TImes, was a campaign against sexual abuse and discrimination of women at work. Today TimesUp is a Foundation that “aims to create a society free of gender-based discrimination in the workplace and beyond”.

Argentina, Diciembre 2018
(look how we get)
“Mirá cómo nos ponemos” surgió a raíz de las acusaciones de violación que hizo la actriz Thelma Fardin contra el actor Juan Darthés. La frase hace alusión a "las palabras supuestamente dichas por el actor a diversas mujeres al momento de presuntamente cometer los abusos: "mirá como me ponés", obligándolas a tocar su pene erecto y culpándolas de tal reacción.” El hashtag se convirtió en un movimiento para denunciar la agresión y el acoso sexual.

#METOO
October 2017, USA
Campaign founded by activist Tarana Burke (2006), but became famous in 2017 when Alyssa Milano invited women to use #metoo to denounce sexual harassment. Actresses used the hashtag to expose Harvey Wienstein’s sexual misconduct, and millions of women have used it to share their own stories of sexual harassment.

#selfdefloration
Artist Nilbar Güreş created a textile collage in 2006 under the title “Self Defloration”. Her work and the hashtag expose the patriarchal notion of “keeping the flower” and the importance of the hymen as (yet another) strategy of patriarchy to control women’s bodies. Thus, Nilbar Güreş defines self-defloration as an act of female emancipation.
