INTERACTIVE: Malaysian women speak up against sexual predators

PETALING JAYA: The #MeToo movement, which ignited a wave among women globally calling out their sexual harassers, seems to have had an impact in the country as well, based on an analysis of the number of social media postings by Malaysians on the subject.

Since the beginning of this year, 222 posts or stories were recounted by victims, mostly on Twitter, about their traumatising experience or how they faced sexual harassment in the past, often committed by those whom they knew or trusted.
