Things have been changing at the speed of light in Saudi Arabia with the country going from completely segregating all public events to hosting mixed-gender festivals and concerts.

While the transformation has been largely positive with events like Riyadh Season and MDL Beast raking in success, it hasn't been all good news.

Over the past few days, people have been speaking out about being sexually harassed at recently launched functions they attended in the country. One of them is the MDL Beast electronic festival, which saw the attendance of around 400,000 people in three days.



Under the hashtag "Harassment MDL Beast," hundreds of women, men and individuals with physical disabilities broke their silence over harrowing assaults they were subjected to while attending the festival's events.
