#MeToo movement, it turns out, was just a fleeting moment
Al JazeeraThe #MeToo movement was, it would appear, nothing but a fleeting moment. Indeed, some six years after thousands of women started using the viral hashtag to publicise their experiences of sexual harassment and three years after powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was jailed for rape and sexual assault, sex-based violence is still endemic not just in Hollywood, but also in offices, schools and on the street. Just last month, an inquiry by the UK Parliament’s Women and Equality Committee found that sexual harassment and sexual violence against women and girls remain endemic in educational settings and recommended that on top of investigations into “peer-on-peer abuse in schools” there is a need for investigating and addressing the abuse experienced by female staff at the hands of pupils, parents and their colleagues. Black and other ethnic minority women, and lesbians, could also face sexual harassment related to their identities – and face additional obstacles in their attempts of bringing their harassers to justice. That same year, feminists tired of the rape culture dominating Britain found Women Against Sexual Harassment, the first NGO in the UK to offer advice and counselling to women who had endured such harassment.
