Check out Shen Lu’s work for China File in the link above. It guts me how many don’t know how Chinese women have persisted for decades. Link in bio. It’s going out on all our social media. #metoo #woyeshi #phenomenallyasian https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXL_pNr4-R/?igshid=ffdfbqxqsa65

Last count from reporters on the ground was about 500 people, videos and art in support of her have been flooding Chinese social media. Hashtags like #弦子加油 have been quickly removed, activists have been quick on their feet, switching it up. We’re spooling Xianzi only news up till the verdict. BTW, I already encounter censorship on my end so I KNOW it’s real. #woyeshi Source @blackilocks https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVtQfkr5Kv/?igshid=8lqne3uz9n4t

Supporters outside the courtroom, with #metoo posters, complete with rally carry to “let’s move forward together”. China’s #lgbtqia community are amongst them.

Lawyer Guo Jianmei has been working on women's rights cases for 30 years. She says the social media powered #metoo  #woyeshi anti-sexual assault campaign is the biggest women's rights movement she's seen in China. #phenomenallyasian https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP9Bx8rMgy/?igshid=euzzivv8fbwv

Thank you @muyixiao and Xianzi for speaking up, a great example of how when one woman speaks up, she inspires another. It's tough within Chinese communities or in China or majority Chinese countries. The patriarchal idea of "lose face", bring shame to the family", "airing dirty laundry" still silences so many. This is a case to support and watch. China has a massive firewall and has retracted a large amount of western press passes this year. This women risk massive social ostracism, family rejection and their public support is often clamped down quickly, with their stories deleted within hours from Chinese social media. Good news is that it trended before that happened. They’re not on Instagram because it’s banned. Their laws are unequal, it was only due to #woyeshi, China’s #metoomovement that happened underground away from Western view that in recent years the word sexual harassment was legislated in China. The police regularly deters women from reporting and when Xianzi did, there was nothing she could report it accurately as. Chinese women have made great strides, at great expense to their personal safety. #feministfive was captured, tortured and jailed just for public protest. Stand up for ALL women or your feminism is rubbish. Source @blackilocks #phenomenallyasian #16Days  https://www.instagram.com/p/CIM6HkOLvys/?igshid=3qm79jpzy0zo
