Summary: This research investigates the non-inclusivity of #MeTooIndia towards marginalized and gendered bodies and narratives on the Twitter platform. The exclusion is primarily due to increased attention to sexual abuse among the Indian elite, lack of discussion on different experiences of sexual abuse among various communities, and the creation of unsafe spaces for gendered minorities to share their experiences. The study suggests rethinking how feminist movements are designed and organized online to create safer, more inclusive, and intersectional spaces for activism.
