‘I was slut-shamed’ – Indian women ‘cockroach’ protesters doxxed and abused
Several Indian women who participated in the recent protests against the use of the term “cockroach” to insult women were allegedly doxxed and subjected to online abuse. The protests took place in Chennai, India, on August 15, 2021, and were organized by a group of women demanding an end to the derogatory term’s use against women.
The women involved in the protests shared their experiences of being slut-shamed and receiving threatening messages online after their identities were revealed. They stated that they were targeted for speaking out against the use of such derogatory language and advocating for women’s rights.
On the other hand, there were individuals online who defended the use of the term “cockroach,” claiming it was a form of harmless teasing and not intended to be derogatory towards women. Some argued that the women protesters were overreacting and should not have taken offense to the term.
