What is the meaning of metoo movement and its origin and development
4hw.com.cn: some time ago, Hollywood sex scandals swept the entire American film and television industry, and made women in the United States and even many countries launch the meto campaign. Do you know what the meto campaign is? What is the origin? Let's take a look at it together with Sihai Xiaobian.
You may not be very familiar with the metoo movement, but you should remember that such a movement makes many women stand up bravely and find out the perpetrators bravely, which is of great significance to women.
Metoo is a campaign launched by actress Alyssa Milano and others in October 2017 against the scandal of Harvey Weinstein, the US gold producer, infringing on several female stars;
They called on all women who had been assaulted to come forward and say what they had suffered, and to put labels on social media to raise social attention.
On October 15, 2017, actress Elsa Milano tweeted: 'if you have ever been violated or harassed, please reply to this tweet with & lsquo; me too. '
Subsequently, witness messages appeared frequently on social networking sites such as twitter, Facebook and instagram. More and more people replied to the news. Some people only wrote 'me too', and many more talked about their own experiences of aggression or harassment.
On November 12, 2017, hundreds of people took part in the "take back the workplace March" and "me too survivors March" in Hollywood to protest against the violations.
More and more people have become brave 'silence breakers' through this movement, while' metoo 'is the label of unity for all. They launched the social revolution of rejecting power and gender violence, and they are accumulating more power every day.
The 'silence breaker' started a rejection revolution, building up strength every day. In the two months before December 2017 alone, their shared anger had led to immediate and shocking results: almost every day, chief executives were fired, bigwigs fell and idols were disgraced. In some cases, others have been prosecuted.
In December 2017, Time magazine of the United States selected those brave 'silence breakers' as its people of the year 2017. On January 7 this year, Hollywood actresses, dressed in black dresses, walked on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony with social activists;
Oprah Winfrey, a well-known talk show host, announced in her speech that a new era had come and that the days of harassment for women were over.
At the beginning of the 2018 new year, the me too movement spread to the South Korean entertainment circle, and became more and more fierce. A group of old actors and celebrities got off their horses.
At present, there are also many women in China who are no longer silent, but dare to say their tragic experience, and no longer let the perpetrators go unpunished. It can be said that the metoo movement has inspired many women around the world to break the silence.
