Summary Of Sandra Muller's 'Expose Your Pig'

A French journalist named Sandra Muller began a social media campaign with the hashtag #BalanceTonPorc (“Expose Your Pig”), for women to share their experiences of sexual harassment. She turned to Twitter to write about an inappropriate and humiliating comment said from a powerful French executive. Thousands of women were impacted by her story and decided to write about their own experiences. They posted disturbing accounts of sexual harassment and abuse, although most did not want to identify their harassers.
