A platform that wants China’s female factory workers to “scream” about their workplace troubles has been removed from one of China’s most prominent social media platforms.

Jianjiao Buluo, whose name translates to Pepper Tribe, is a Chinese online forum created in 2014 by a group of volunteers, and had over 20,000 followers on Weibo before it was taken down, according to a representative of the group. Their slogan is “we don’t sell pepper, but we make female workers’ scream louder for their rights.” Pepper (jiān jiāo; 尖椒) and screaming (jiān jiào;尖叫) have similar pronunciation in Chinese. The group invites female workers to write about problems they meet with in daily life or at work, and publishes their accounts, often under pseudonyms. Earlier this year, for example, it issued a call to female workers at Foxconn, the world’s largest assembler of iPhones, to write about their #MeToo experiences in fighting against sexual harassment.
