Over the weekend, a six-word text went viral on Instagram, becoming the latest call to arms in a months-long debate raging on social media around sexual violence.
The Instagram post was a screenshot of a WhatsApp message reading "text me when you get home" — a message familiar to most women, that speaks to near-universal fears around personal safety.
The post and its lengthy caption about the measures women take to protect themselves has accrued more than 2.5 million likes on Instagram. It's just the latest in a growing tide of voices that have spilled from social media to the streets this week, with Australia's March 4 Justice rallies and British vigils for Sarah Everard, who was allegedly murdered by a police officer in early March while on her way home.
But not everyone views this outpouring, largely from women, as a positive trend. Some have warned of "trial by social media", while others are concerned about women disclosing sexual assaults online without adequate support, and some fear "sexual assault fatigue".
Here's what we're seeing on different platforms.
There has been an avalanche of sexual assault disclosures on Twitter following rape and harassment allegations relating to Parliament.
Older Australians, in particular, are tweeting about historical incidents that took place when they were teenagers — many for the first time. The ABC is choosing not to repeat disclosures here.
A second wave of allegations specific to military settings emerged when ADF chief Angus Campbell warned cadets not to become "prey" by being out at night, "alone" and "attractive".
Following Sarah Everard's murder, users shared allegations of sexual assaults by trusted friends in their own homes, to argue women can't defend themselves from sexual violence by avoiding walking alone at night.
"One of the things we know about sexual assault is it takes power and agency away from survivors. Sometimes telling their story is a way of reclaiming their voice," says University of Sydney professor Catherine Lumby.
"Like the #MeToo movement, this is allowing women to tell their stories in a collective way rather than in single file which is what they were forced to do in the past — to police, or friends and family — which often brought a sense of isolation for them."
For some victims, finding their voice on Twitter has been a first step to healing and has allowed them to connect with survivor communities.
"I have found my tribe," says Tasmanian survivor Isabella Murray, who shared her story for the first time and joined Twitter after Grace Tame became Australian of the Year.
"Already, the support is wonderful. So many of my kind contacting me —I had no idea they were there waiting for me, or that there are so many of us out there."
But disclosing online also exposes survivors to the risk of trolling and abuse in a vulnerable moment.
And while support from strangers and friends online is validating, it can't take the place of professional psychological support.
"Sharing your story online can be a healing thing but it is very important people are aware there's a 1800RESPECT number where they can get professional trauma support," says Professor Lumby.
"When a survivor discloses their story for the first time it can also be traumatic for their friends and family learning this information. They can also access 1800RESPECT if they need help supporting a survivor."
In the wake of Brittany Higgins going public with her allegations, Lifeline received its highest call volume to date, while Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia has seen a 15 per cent call increase.
While some survivors have found healing through public disclosure, critics argue the movement should not rely on these testimonials.
Others have sought to reassure survivors they don't need to disclose their story for it to matter.
In her National Press Club address, Australian of the Year Grace Tame said while she was thrilled to see the conversation online, we must focus on what we can learn from each survivor's story, rather than revelling in "sensational" details of alleged violence.
"The cycle of abuse cannot be broken simply by replaying case histories, we cannot afford to back track. Else, we'll go around in circles, trapped in a painful narrative, and we'll all get tired, both as speakers and listeners.
"We'll want to switch off and give up. And retreat once more into silence."
Tik Tok
On Tik Tok, users create their own videos that are often variations on a common format.
Last year, women began posting videos of the "clothes they were wearing when they were sexually assaulted" to rebuke victim-blaming tropes.
More recently, Tik Tok users have been using the "put a finger down" format, where they hold both hands up, then put a finger down for each time they've experienced an example of sexual harassment or abuse read out in the narration track. ("Put a finger down if you've been drugged. Put a finger down if a friend has been drugged", and so on).
Then there's the teens dancing to abusive voicemails from ex-boyfriends to discuss relationship red flags.
And, nine years after it originally went viral, Julia Gillard's iconic "misogyny speech" is proving an enduring format on Tik Tok, even with some overseas users.
In most examples, women lip-synch the speech while doing their make-up, "clapping back" against the idea that women must choose between style and substance.
While the trend started in March last year, new videos are emerging each week — it seems the rallying cry is here to stay.
In a more controversial trend, some young women, mostly in the US, are outing their alleged rapists on Tik Tok, in a 21st century upgrade to scrawling allegations on a bathroom wall.
This time, they're sharing screenshots of social media profiles, relevant message exchanges, and sometimes photos of injuries.
In the most high-profile example, a US marine who posted an emotional account alleging sexual assault by a colleague is only seeing the matter redressed by the Marines after her video went viral.
Professor Lumby calls the US trend "very problematic".
"There's a peril in people just randomly naming perpetrators of sexual assault. We don't want to see trial by social media, we have a criminal justice system.
"But it's complex and I'm sympathetic to their feeling of 'enough is enough'."
If this trend moved to Australia, there's a risk that those making allegations could be subject to defamation proceedings, which younger users may not anticipate.
In the past couple of months, a simple Instagram poll has spawned a growing movement to bolster consent education in schools.
Sydney woman Chanel Contos, 23, asked her followers if they'd experienced sexual assault from private school boys as teenagers. The overwhelming response prompted her to create a Google Doc, which now contains more than 17,000 testimonials of teen sexual assault.
More than 100 Sydney school principals met with NSW Police Sex Crimes Squad boss Stacey Maloney, to discuss how best to respond to the former Kambala student's "Teach Us Consent" campaign and petition.
Meanwhile, the Queensland government ordered a review into school sexual education to examine whether consent is being taught from a young enough age.
Professor Lumby says Facebook proved "a powerful tool in organising the women's marches across the country that we saw on Monday".
Loading...At the same time, current and former Labor staffers were detailing allegations against male MPs and staffers in a closed Facebook group, including aggressive behaviour, inappropriate messages and sexual harassment.
Meanwhile, The Betoota Advocate and The Chaser have heavily satirised political and media responses to sexual assault allegations, with posts being shared widely.
Is this a tipping point?
Professor Lumby calls the discussion of recent weeks a "watershed moment".
"I do think this is going to be a tipping point. If you're a feminist you've got to be an optimist and I do believe this is a reckoning akin to the 1970s Reclaim the Night marches.
"Social media has driven a huge awareness of how widespread sexual assault and sexual harassment are, and women from all walks of life are coming together on this issue, along with good men."
