#ChurchToo Hashtag Emerges in Light of Sexual Assault Claims


On Media Outlook News: We have heard of the #MeToo campaign, but now the #ChurchToo hashtag has emerged where those who have been sexually assaulted by members of the cloth are speaking out.

                                                                    ***Advertisement***

TIME reports that Hannah Paasch and Emily Joy kicked off the hashtag, which prompted Twitter users to share their stories of sexual abuse experienced in the church.

By urging those who have been abused and sexually assaulted in church settings, the hashtag’s founders hope to bring awareness and voices to an issue that goes largely unaddressed.

On Media Outlook News:  Murky details surround the apparent ambush attack that killed one U.S. Border Patrol agent and injured another, as initial reports the agents were shot were denied by the FBI, which had taken over the hunt for the killers. Agent Rogelio Martinez, 36, was killed in the line of duty Sunday while patrolling the Big Bend Sector of Texas along the southern border with Mexico, and his partner, who was not identified, sustained serious injuries.
