• Networks The terrible challenge of TikTok on April 24, international rape day

"Many of you are asking us about this."

An agent in uniform stars in the video that the

National Police

has had to release

on Tik Tok after spreading the hoax on social networks that next Saturday is the day of the rape.

"Of course, April 24 is not the international day of rape," say the police, "we have no record of any group of men going out on the street to rape or assault women that day."

"Many times on social networks inappropriate content is shared that is far from reality and that also instills terror", he warns, "it can paralyze our daily lives."

And it ends up encouraging Internet users to report any content of this type.

The origin of the challenge

Numerous

TikTok

users

are sharing warnings and posts about the danger of sexual assault on Saturday, April 24.

They talk about a video in which in theory a group of six men encourages others to make that date the

international day of rape

.

The images cannot be found on the platform, but in them the protagonists allegedly argued that it is legal to abuse another person during that day and even gave advice to do so,

thus posing a challenge to rape women

.

This information has been disseminated through different social networks.

The trend started in the United States, but has crossed borders and has reached other countries.

The hashtag

# april24

has more than 70 million views on

TikTok

.

Under this tag you can see many videos on the subject.

It is not clear what is the origin of the challenge that wants to make April 24 the international day of rape.

The USA Today newspaper picks up a

TikTok

statement

in which the company confirms that

it has not located the alleged images

featuring six men in its files.

"Although we have not found evidence on our video platform related to this matter,

our security team remains vigilant

and we will remove content that violates our policies," said a spokesperson for the social network.

The aforementioned American media has carried out an investigation in this regard after analyzing more than 100 videos on

TikTok

with the 'hashtag'

# april24

and contacting users who indicate they have seen the original material.

It concluded that

there is no evidence

that a group of men announced their plans to sexually assault women and children on Saturday, April 24, and turn this date into the international rape day celebration.
