Interesting situation: side by side placement of the flags.

It’s the bit, should a person on stage start arguing with the crowd? Should members of the audience object to flags on stage?

That wasn't the world's response, but I understand how it could that way to the victims.

Me Too helped bring VAWG into focus, unfortunately it is still all too readily dismissed, denied and politicised.

@TooBigForMyBoots the worlds silence was profound. UNwomen’s response (or rather lack of response) was particularly egregious. https://www.timesofisrael.com/global-womens-rights-groups-silent-as-israeli-women-testify-about-rapes-by-hamas/amp/

This thread also discussed it in detail

@TooBigForMyBoots whose response was it then?

It was the response of people who don't give a shit about rape being used as a weapon of war, see it as "one of those things" and a not very important thing at that. It is sadly all too prevalent.

@TooBigForMyBoots I expected more from UNWomen and feminist organisations.

me too

meanwhile this comedian has got a LOAD of free publicity and probably a lot of brownie points for his stance from some quarters

Alternatively the comedian may have got a lot of death threats and had his future bookings cancelled.
