Sajid Khan is a habitual sexual abuser. Here is a thread 🧵on the how he abused young girls in Lieu of work in the Industry. #MeToo #MeTooIndia
#SajidKhan
In 2020, model Dimple Paul had shared how Sajid "spoke dirty" to her, asked her to strip naked, and even tried to touch her, all under the pretext of casting her in 'Housefull'. Dimple was 17 at the time of the incident. #metooindia #MeToo #SajidKhan Image
Jiah's sister Karishma alleged that Sajid had asked Jiah to take off her top and bra during a script reading session. Karishma said-She came home and cried. She said, 'I have a contract, so if I leave, they can sue me and slander my name. If I stay, then am sexually harassed'. Image

TW: Sexual Harassment

This person posted an ad on Instagram for a casting call regarding a modelling gig for a big brand. He said I was pretty but he wasn’t looking for someone on a wheelchair for that specific modelling gig but he would keep me in mind for future projects.
A couple of months later, he posted again for another project. I messaged him again, just to remind him of me. He then proceeds to tell me that if it wasn’t for my condition, he’d be horny for me. To be honest, I was taken aback by his disgusting message and I told him off.
First and foremost, my disability doesn’t make me any less desirable. Secondly, he shouldn’t EVER be speaking to anyone in such a way, no matter their gender, physical condition, race, caste, or sexual preference. This is online sexual harassment.

Received few questions on #MeToo research:

Q: How would you summarise debate of #MeTooIndia & #MenToo movement?

MDO Reply: #MeTooIndia unfortunately ran like a campaign and failed to call out Men who belonged to certain set of ideology

Cont...
For eg. No one ran concentrated campaigns against rape accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap or Maharashtra's social justice minister Dhananjay Munde

Thus, MeTooIndia seemed like a motivated campaign targeting to fix certain individuals

#MenToo on other hand is very organic

Cont..
...and there is no particular handle co-ordinating the same. When misuse of naming shaming Men - without evidence - became rampant, we at MDO started covering certain stories with this hashtag where we wanted society to see the 'Other Side'

Hi all, if you are interested in social justice and the seemingly unending onslaught of events seems to do your head in. Here are some resources, hashtags and processes I've found helpful in keeping track of what is happening around us.
1. @Article14live has tracked #sedition cases between 2010-2010 in #India. @kunalpurohit provides an in-depth overview of the use of colonial laws to suppress dissent and active requests for rights in the country. #memoryproject
2. The #freespeechcollective has tracked arrests and detentions of #journalists in India between 2010-20. @geetaseshu's work has demonstrated that 40% of these took place in 2020. #memoryproject
