The student’s accusation — initially posted, with photographic evidence, to a private Facebook group — prompted not just shock and disgust but also an outpouring of support on social media that is quickly becoming Tunisia’s answer to the #MeToo movement. “It is still really difficult to prove there was sexual harassment,” said Fadoua Braham, a lawyer who has handled several harassment cases. Aswat Nissa, a women’s rights organisation, then created a private Facebook group that receives accounts from women daily. “The beauty of the movement is its spontaneity and the fact that it belongs to no one,” said Najma Kousri Labidi, one of the founders of the EnaZeda Facebook page. “EnaZeda and similar initiatives will not have a real impact on sexual harassment unless we start targeting men, educating them and changing their behaviour,” he said.
