In a startling display of self-empowerment, the hashtag #ididnotreport has been circulating on Twitter with stories of women and some men who are coming forth and telling their episodes of assault in 140 characters.
First tweeted on March 12 by the blog London Feminist, the hashtag encouraged women and men to share stories of harassment that the blog says usually goes unnoticed.
@andromedababe @mmelindor You’ve inspired me to try starting a hashtag #Ididnotreport Encourage others to join in! Will blog it tomorrow.

Several people also tweeted their support and astonishment toward victims who came forward and shared their stories.
