Until the launch of the campaigns on the web with the keywords #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc following the scandal Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein is the famous American filmmaker who is drowning in the avalanche of accusations of rape and harassment that have made him today the pariah of Hollywood, the Mecca of cinema.
This is how many women decided to break the silence and denounce. Many have done so via social networks, through the #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc hastag.
Following the example of former South African MP and singer Jennifer Ferguson who accuses Danny Jordaan, the all-powerful president of the South African Football Federation has raped her 24 years ago. They were then part of the Nelson Mandela ANC, both of them.
Let’s hope that the fact that women have decided to put faces and names on “pigs” will help curb the ardor of these men who believe they can use and abuse them just because they rub off a piece of power
