NEW: I Was Listed ‘For Sale’ on a Fake Auction Site

  • 2 years ago
On January 1, several Muslim women across India woke up and found themselves being “auctioned” on an app. The app, hosted by the GitHub platform, had used their photographs, many of them doctored. The targets included Muslim women across age groups, including prominent journalists, activists and lawyers. The app is a clone of 'Sulli Deals', which had triggered a row last year by offering users a 'sulli' - an insulting term used by right-wing trolls for Muslim women.

VICE World News meets with one of the victims in this case and through her story understands the different ways in which crimes like these affect women across India.
