Women begin denouncing sexual harassment

The hashtag that they're using is #Mosquematoo, which has started on the social Twitter network, with the only reason to denounce the sexual harassment of Muslim women during the pilgrimage to Hadge.

#Mosquemetoo started with American Egyptian feminist and journalist Mona Eltay, who shared her experiences in social media, reports Insander.

She first spoke of sexual assault during pilgrimage at the age of 15.

Hashage, #Me Too and #Balance Ton Porc has become one of the main trends on Twitter Farsi.
She has encouraged many women to tell their stories when they were touched in the crowd during the pilgrimage.

About two million Muslims dedicate themselves to the sacred city of Mecca each year.
Many women have also challenged the idea that hijab clothing keeps women safe from attacks and harassment.
In Islam women are encouraged to cover their hair and bodies in public so as to maintain honesty and keep themselves safe from male attention and harassment and assault.

In January, women in the Iranian capital, Tehran, removed their hygiene in protest of the country's mandatory Islamic code.
