History in the making. More than 20,000 South Korean women angrily urged the gov't to crack down on the widespread 'molka' (spy cam) crimes that secretly film women at public toilet/public transport/office/school- in the biggest-ever protest held by women in the nation. #혜화시위

The so-called molka crimes are so rampant in South Korea that news about men- from school teachers to pastors - caught secretly filming women make headlines on a daily basis. Here's a story I did in 2016 about this sickening trend with no sign of stopping

What's worse, sharing the molka footage & so-called revenge porn videos with other men on the Internet has become sthg of a "fun pastime" amg these high-tech peeping Toms. Here's a story I did in 2017 about S.Korean women's battle against online sex crimes goo.gl/ZS8aV6

Today's rally also showed a sad reality- most protestors hid their faces with facial masks/sunglasses/hats for fear of being identified by male acquaintances & becoming a subject of relentless sexual harassment/online trolling that had targeted many past women's rights protestors

(I even blurred eyes/lips of many protestors in those photos just in case. In high-tech yet male-dominated South Korea, one should never underestimate the threat of online bullying & the wrath of anti-feminists)

And the highlight of Saturday's anti-molka (spy cam porn) rally in South Korea: women took to the stage to shave their heads in protest at the government's failure to crack down on the widespread molka crimes #혜화시위
Thank you so much for making the world aware of this. Women and girls deserve privacy and dignity.

Honest question: please explain the cultural significance of shaving one's head. Thanks.

Supporting you! Make your voices heard! Is there any economic component to the protest, like a day where women vow to make NO purchases in clothing shops? If the police won’t enforce women’s right to privacy, maybe the businesses that lose $$ will.
