#Mosquemetoo: Women denounce sexual harassment during Hajj pilgrimage
By Selina Sykes
last updated: 10/02/2018
#Mosquemetoo launched on Twitter to denounce the sexual harassment of Muslim women during the Hajj pilgrimage is going viral.
Muslim women are rallying behind the hashtag to share their experiences of sexual harassment during the Hajj pilgrimage and in other religious settings.<\/p>\n
Mosquemetoo was started by Egyptian-American feminist and journalist Mona Eltawy, who has been sharing her experiences on social media.<\/h1>\n
She first spoke out about being sexually assaulted during the Hajj pilgrimage at the age of 15.<\/p>\n

The hashtag follows #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc (\u2018out your pig\u2019) and has become one of the top trends on Farsi Twitter.<\/p>\n
It has prompted many women to share their stories of being groped and inappropriately touched in crowds during the Hajj pilgrimage.<\/p>\n

An estimated two million Muslims undertake Hajj to the holy city of Mecca every year.<\/p>\n
Many women have also challenged the idea that wearing the hijab keeps women safe from assault and harassment.<\/p>\n
In Islam women are encouraged to cover their hair and body in public in order to preserve decency and keep themselves safe from male attention and from harassment and assault.<\/p>\n
In January women in the Iranian capital Tehran removed their hijabs in protest against the country\u2019s mandatory Islamic dress code. <\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1518272385,"updatedAt":1518276444,"publishedAt":1518272340,"expiresAt":0,"canonical":"http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2018\/02\/10\/-mosquemetoo-women-denounce-sexual-harassment-during-hajj-pilgrimage","images":[{"url":"http:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/03\/07\/58\/64\/{{w}}x{{h}}_story-3d0d7111-b404-5777-8e07-8645b8d71001_1011457.jpg","altText":"Around 2 million people participate in the Hajj pilgrimage every year","caption":"Around 2 million people participate in the Hajj pilgrimage every year","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":null}],"authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"sykes","title":"Selina Sykes","twitter":"@Selina_Sykes"}],"producers":[],"videoEditor":[]},"keywords":[{"id":"13329","urlSafeValue":"sexual-assault","title":"sexual assault","titleRaw":"sexual assault"},{"id":"12800","urlSafeValue":"sexual-harassment","title":"Sexual harassment","titleRaw":"Sexual harassment"},{"id":"11954","urlSafeValue":"women","title":"Women","titleRaw":"Women"},{"id":"12519","urlSafeValue":"hijab","title":"Hijab","titleRaw":"Hijab"},{"id":"488","urlSafeValue":"mecca","title":"Mecca","titleRaw":"Mecca"},{"id":"12098","urlSafeValue":"hajj","title":"Hajj","titleRaw":"Hajj"}],"related":[{"id":"412108"},{"id":"398839"}],"allViews":0,"allViewsMeta":{"pointOfView":{"quotation":null,"description":null,"author":null},"survey":[],"tweetId":null,"tweet2NdId":"","contentType":null,"displayOverlay":"0"},"displayType":"default","video":0,"videos":[],"liveStream":[],"isLiveCoverage":"0","sourceId":"1","sources":[],"externalSource":null,"additionalSources":null,"additionalReporting":null,"freeField1":null,"freeField2":"","type":"","program":{"id":"world","urlSafeValue":"world","title":"world news","online":"1","url":"http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/programs\/world"},"themes":[{"urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News","translation":"World","url":"http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/news\/international"}],"advertising":0,"advertisingData":{"startDate":0,"endDate":0,"in_home":null,"sponsorName":null,"sponsorLogo":null},"geoLocation":{"lat":0,"lon":0},"location":0,"continent":[],"country":[],"town":[],"versions":{"en":{"url":"-mosquemetoo-women-denounce-sexual-harassment-during-hajj-pilgrimage","title":" #Mosquemetoo: Women denounce sexual harassment during Hajj pilgrimage","authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"sykes","title":"Selina Sykes","twitter":"@Selina_Sykes"}],"producers":[]},"publishedAt":1518272340,"expiresAt":0}},"vertical":"news","fullUrl":"\/2018\/02\/10\/-mosquemetoo-women-denounce-sexual-harassment-during-hajj-pilgrimage","ampUrl":"\/amp\/2018\/02\/10\/-mosquemetoo-women-denounce-sexual-harassment-during-hajj-pilgrimage","isSponsored":false,"isMagazine":false,"authorStatus":{"urlSafeValue":"sykes","title":"Selina Sykes","twitter":"@Selina_Sykes"}}" style="box-sizing: inherit; background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 3;">

I have shared my experience of being sexually assaulted during Haj in 1982 when I was 15 in the hope that it will help fellow Muslim women break silence and taboo around their experience of sexual harassment/abuse during Haj/Umra or in sacred spaces.

A Muslim woman emailed me after she read my thread about being sexually assaulted at Haj to share her mother’s experience with sexual assault at Haj. She sent me a poem that broke all the pieces I though I had stitched together. I was crying as I replied to her.

I was sexually harassed at 21 when I was doing Tawaf, right there in that most sacred place! The fact that it happened there, in that place where it's supposed to be the holiest and safest sanctuary, broke me so bad that I never recovered from it! #MosqueMeToo

I read about #MosqueMeToo. It brought me to horrible memories during Hajj 2010. People think Mecca is the holiest place for Moslems so nobody would not do something bad. Totally wrong.
