In April 2021, a hoax called "National Rape Day" went viral on TikTok, and videos announcing it received millions of views. The claim was that on April 24, 2021, men could rape women and go unpunished.
Some of the videos allegedly reported large groups of men organizing to sexually assault women en masse.
Right now, the same hoax is resurfacing - on the same social media platform, which seems unable or unwilling to control the event, the one that causes many parents of girls, and of course the girls themselves, anxiety.
48 out of 50 TikTok videos under the hashtag "#April24" contained baseless information, and the hoax was further legitimized by poor media coverage, which increased the panic, as well as reactions from some law enforcement personnel (police officers) who chose to take the videos seriously.
No, no, it's stupid to give up on a man you're attracted to and who is really interested in you.

There was also panic in Israel.
A follower of Einav Bobalil appealed to her:
"Einavi Peliz, I am anxiously a mother of 4! Spread the word that you have a challenge on Tiktok, Monday 4/24, rape day. Boys are allowed to rape as many girls as they want and wherever they want. My 2 daughters have been anxious since Monday and have not left the house."
Well, Einav Bobalil can calm down the follower - this is a stupid, cruel and unfunny prank.
There is no such day in April, everything is fine.
And if you come across such a message, here's what to do:
