Abnousse Shalmani
Abnousse Shalmani is a French journalist, writer and director.
In 2018, Shalmani was one of the authors — along with Sarah Chiche, Catherine Millet, Peggy Sastre and Catherine Robbe-Grillet — of the open letter criticizing the MeToo movement
which was signed by over 100 high-profile French women and sent to leading French newspaper, Le Monde. The letter advocated, in part, that a "freedom to bother " – a man's right to make a pass at a woman, even if a clumsy one – was "indispensable to sexual freedom".
