Eman Suleman is known for her strong stance against sexual harassment. The model earlier shared that if those accused of it will be called innocent until proven guilty, it would just encourage them further.
"Don’t you get it? Even if ‘INnOcenT UnTil PrOVEn GUilty,’ you’re encouraging the disgusting, vile behaviour they’ve been accused of, and also, encouraging others to do so by demonstrating that they can get away with it without any serious repercussions," she had said previously.
Now, Eman has again urged her fans and followers to name and shame the harassers as she reminisces her own ordeals.

"‘Innocent until proven guilty,’ most of them say. I summon my childhood, my adolescence, my adulthood, and I ask them, I ask them how is it that we can prove? How can we prove to the people that these incidents actually happened? What evidence do we have of our abuser abusing us, our harasser harassing us? Nothing. We have nothing," she wrote.
"We only have memories. And in this lawful (read: lawless) lawlessful world, our memories, our experiences count for nothing. We have no proof. Thus, we are not innocent. A a matter of fact, we are guilty, guilty of seeking attention, of falsely accusing," added Eman.
"‘Innocent until proven guilty’ they say, and we call to mind these memories, over and over again, reliving these experiences, these feelings, thinking, no one will believe us because we have no proof," the model went on. "There was no camera, there were no people, even if there were, the man who grabbed our butt and squeezed it with all his might for just a second, did it stealthily, leaving us powerless, frozen, and hurriedly walked away, vanishing in the crowd."
Eman concluded by saying, "So when they say ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ we roll our eyes to the back of our head, we let them stay there for a while. Once they’re a bit horrified, we bring them back and then, we politely ask them to f*** off."
Earlier, the rising star also withdrew her name from a list of LSA nominees saying she did not wish to share the space with an alleged sexual harasser. “I do not wish to be a part of an accolade which is shared with an alleged harasser; I feel no joy. Maybe nominate someone who feels happy about it. I don’t. I am basically done,” she said on Instagram, along with a short video.
