She was walking in BiH, the driver stopped her and grabbed her by the chest in the car.

A journalist named Alice Chapman has come forward with allegations of sexual assault during her journey through Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of a humanitarian effort to deliver aid to Palestinians. The incident reportedly occurred when she was stopped by a man who offered her a ride but then allegedly demanded a form of payment before proceeding to touch her against her will. According to Chapman's account, the man grabbed her by the chest after she attempted to resist and eventually left the vehicle. This incident took place near Mostar, where she had been traveling as part of a group attempting to reach Gaza. Chapman shared a video of the incident online, which quickly went viral and received over two million views within three hours. However, the video was later removed by Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. In response to its removal, Chapman expressed frustration, stating that not only was the video deleted, but she also faced restrictions on sending messages for three days and was prevented from live-streaming for an entire year. She questioned whether such actions truly protected the community, suggesting that the real person at risk might have been the perpetrator himself. The decision to post the video was not made lightly, according to Chapman, who described herself as being in an extremely vulnerable position at the time. She emphasized that publishing the footage was more terrifying than the act itself. The rapid deletion of the video left her feeling as though part of her dignity had been destroyed. She explained that she chose to share the video to educate others about misogyny, highlighting how denial of misogynistic violence remains strongly linked to a lack of evidence. In her case, however, she had irrefutable proof that shocked many people, aiming to make others understand the reality of violence against women. Despite acknowledging the risks associated with her mode of travel, Chapman stressed that this incident should not be reduced solely to the method of transportation. She pointed out that the sexual assault she experienced is connected to a systemic issue that has persisted for centuries—the belief among some men that they have a right to women’s bodies. Chapman was part of a group attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians, but after activists were detained in Israel, they were deported to Istanbul. Rather than return home directly, she decided to travel to the United Kingdom via a stopover, documenting her journey on social media. During this trip, the incident involving the man in Bosnia and Herzegovina occurred. It is currently unknown whether Chapman reported the incident to the police or if any authorities have taken action regarding the alleged assault. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about gender-based violence and the challenges faced by individuals who choose to speak out against such acts, particularly in digital spaces where content can be swiftly removed without clear justification.
