n early February, reports of allegations of rape by famous Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan surfaced. Ramadan, an Oxford University professor, has been charged with rape following claims by two women he allegedly assaulted in separate cases in French hotel rooms in 2009 and 2012.
News about Ramadan — a married father of four — and the alleged sexual assaults had been circulating for a while in international media outlets, especially after Oxford University released a statement in November that said he was taking a leave of absence from his post as a professor of contemporary Islamic studies “by mutual agreement”.
On Feb. 5, news portal theconversation.com released a report titled, “Cambridge University received 173 anonymous reports of sexual misconduct in nine months”. The report is about the alleged misconducts reported by Cambridge students and staff through the university’s anonymous reporting tool between its introduction in May 2017 and Jan. 31, 2018.
The case at Oxford and the tool developed at Cambridge — both prestigious universities in the United Kingdom — are partly a result of the global #MeToo anti-sexual harassment campaign, which has rippled around the world, with victims writing testimonies of their experiences in facing sexual violence.
