COMBATTING SEXISM ON TWITTER: #SHOUTINGBACK

Last year,the Everyday Sexism Project website was created to collect women's accounts of the sexism they encounter in their everyday lives. Early this year, the Project invited women to share their stories of harrassment on Twitter, using the hashtag #shoutingback. "Some 3,500 did so within the first five days", reports project founder Laura Bates.
