“…. where anyone can be a part of this cyberfeminism’, (Rai, 2017: 5), so that the main feminist debates put forward from a class or racial standpoint can be more grounded in this type of environment (Wexler et al, 2018). With regard to this aspect, for Kember (2003), the greatest challenge for feminism is for people to recognise themselves within that plurality.…”

This article analyses how the group Las Periodistas Paramos (We the Women Journalists Stop) arose and developed within the context of the feminist strike that took place in Spain on 8 March 2018 (‘8M’). The purpose of this research is to understand how this community began and its typology, to analyse the selection of digital tools in the process and to outline the strengths and weaknesses of the group on the basis of participants’ experiences. Using three qualitative methods, specifically an interview, non-participant observation and focus groups, the group’s collective work dynamics and its evolution are defined. The results obtained show that this is a community of interest that has collaboratively broadened its initial objectives, surmounted ideological differences, contributed to the feminist movement and grown exponentially by expanding its activities to embrace other Spanish cities and foreign correspondents.

Background: #MeToo movement raised the profiles of restorative justice (RJ) and transformative justice (TJ) in the United States (US) as approaches to repairing harm resulting from sexual violence that center survivors’ needs and emphasize meaningful accountability for persons responsible for harm. This focus on RJ and TJ as viable approaches to sexual violence represents a departure from carceral interventions, which has dominated the US public discourse for decades. Given the shift, mapping the current state of knowledge is critical for practice, policy and research. This scoping review aims to map the available literature to provide an overview of RJ and TJ as responses to sexual violence. Methods/Design: The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joana Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews (Peters, Godfrey-Smith, & Mcinerney, 2017). The concept of interest is the use of RJ and TJ as responses to sexual violence. This scoping review will include both peer-reviewed and grey literature. We will employ a standardized extraction form and represent the data using a descriptive summary, charts and tables that align with the stated objectives. Discussion: Since the #MeToo movement emerged in 2017, public interest in RJ and TJ as meaningful responses to sexual violence has grown. This comprehensive scoping review will systematically organize the literature in order to understand the current landscape of evidence related to these approaches. Given the transformative potential of these interventions, past controversies, and current public interest in the approaches, understanding the current state of knowledge is critical for practice, policy and research.

“…Extensive media coverage and the hashtag #MeToo used by millions of people have brought the issue of sexual misconduct to the forefront of public attention. As a result, powerful, long‐time offenders—like movie mogul Harvey Weinstein—were forced to resign from their positions (for a short survey of the high‐profile incidents giving rise to the #MeToo movement, see Wexler et al ). Indeed, Time magazine collectively chose the people who broke the silence around this pervasive social problem as its 2017 “Person of the Year.” Most of the persons depicted in the Time article appear with their full name and a large (sometimes full‐page) color photograph.…”

“…For example, if even minimal identification—say, by first name alone—increases or decreases a person's credibility or blameworthiness in the eyes of others, this, in turn, might affect the willingness of victims (most of whom are “ordinary” people rather than celebrities) to complain about sexual harassment, as well as the treatment they will receive in their surroundings. The importance of this inquiry is augmented by the fact that allegations of sexual harassment are often dealt with in the public arena (Wexler et al ) and do not necessarily culminate with a decision by a court or a disciplinary board.…”

What's in a Name? The Disparate Effects of Identifiability on Offenders and Victims of Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is undergoing an identification revolution, as more victims choose to forego their anonymity and divulge their identity to the public. Research in social psychology on the identifiability effect has found that identified victims typically generate more empathy and support than unidentified ones. However, this research has been limited largely to monetary donations or to unambiguous cases with uncontested facts; the scholarship has not examined the effects of varying the identifiability of both parties to a conflict. In three large-scale experiments with a representative population (total N = 3,988), we found that in the context of sexual harassment, victims do not gain an identifiability "premium"-whereas offenders do. Offenders identified by their first name only are regarded as more credible and moral and less blameworthy and responsible for the event than unidentified offenders, but the same does not apply to identified victims. Furthermore, when the offender is identified, fewer people perceive the case as involving sexual harassment (Experiment 1), and support for taking measures against the offender declines (Experiment 2). Finally, the identified offender premium exists for offenders of both sexes, but the detrimental effect of identification on victims is moderated by the victim's mode of identification. Specifically, identified female victims who stated willingness to disclose their name publicly fared worse than those preferring that their name not be revealed in public, and the difference between active and passive identification reversed for male victims. The effect of identification mode is moderated by sexist beliefs (Experiment 3). Our results have normative implications for the appropriate balance between publicity and anonymity in various contexts, including social networks, the media, and disciplinary and judicial tribunals.We also examined a series of additional proposed mediators, including political affiliation, religious affiliation, age, social norms perceptions, fears related to sexual harassment, and stereotypical perceptions regarding the characteristics of the offender and the victim. For the sake of brevity, and since none of these factors moderated the effect, we report these analyses in the Appendix.Identifiability and Sexual Harassment 957
