Honour killings are ever present in our communities, though they are hidden under the guise of mental illness or fits of uncontrollable anger.<br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGNTa_CjQxR\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  In this atmosphere, some people have taken it upon themselves to call out harassers and publicly shame them, in the hope that it will both warn people about these persons, and show the repercussions of harassment on harassers. In a country where your reputation is almost more important than your morals and actions, this seems to be a great effort to begin to address these harassers in a language that they would understand. <br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGfvlTujoQy\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  A fairly new Instagram account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pervsoflebanon\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Pervs of Lebanon\/You Are Exposed<\/a> is working to expose local harassers and rapists. They have posted about <B>34 harassers and abusers<\/b> until today, and are still processing thousands of DMs from men and women who are reporting abuse. <br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGND77pjU7r\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  In one instance, a harasser exposed was revealed to have been blackmailing women with publishing their private photos should they not answer him.The account routinely backs up the testimonials with screenshots of conversations or video\/photo footage of the abusers in action.  It has amassed nearly 12,000 followers to date.<br \/>  <br \/>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGUytWpjl1V\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe><br \/>  Their content has received a lot of positive feedback, especially from people who have seen these harassers or been harassed by them, and more stories about harassment are coming to light. The cultural shame surrounding these stories is melting away in the face of truth and the justice that this account seeks to achieve.
