MeToo Movement in India

The MeToo Movement in India gained momentum in 2018, inspired by a global wave of social media activism against sexual harassment and assault. Women across various sectors, including entertainment and academia, shared their experiences of abuse and misconduct, often naming their perpetrators. This unprecedented outpouring of stories aimed to challenge societal norms and empower survivors to speak out. The movement has sparked discussions about the safe work environment, legal reforms, and the need for accountability, highlighting the pervasive nature of sexual harassment in Indian society and encouraging a cultural shift towards respecting women’s rights and dignity.
