On social media, we have witnessed various stories of sexual harrasments shared by women. Through #HustisyangSocialMedia, we aim to examine how social media as a platform contributes to the general discourse on justice-seeking by the harassment victims. This event further aims to explain the sociocultural & political conditions that promote rape culture and how victims find the encouragement to share their stories on public platforms such as Facebook.
