The fight for women’s rights beyond #MeToo

Only through global unity can we overcome the problems of sexual harassment and abuse.

For most people, the #MeToo movement has become synonymous with campaigns against sexual harassment. The movement—which went viral in October 2017—undoubtedly mobilised women and spurred positive change. But its prominence in media coverage and political discussions of sexual harassment has also been problematic, overshadowing activism for women’s rights in other parts of the world that predates the emergence of #MeToo.
