AB Recent feminist movements such as #MeToo, Time’s Up or #YouKnowMe have arisen in a period of social unrest, which has prompted the birth of a fourth feminist way. Many female activists are currently fighting against cases of sexual harassment, gender pay gaps and other patriarchal laws such as pro-choice. It is an incessant fight that started centuries ago. Undoubtfully, #MeToo has thrusted many initiatives that have culminated in a much more strengthened female sisterhood. Hence, this paper aims to do the same in the classroom: to create a bond of trust and respect between boys and girls. In so doing, the following didactic proposal introduces realia as a way to raise awareness on the latest feminist movements, which should make students reflect on the issue of gender inequality too. For this matter, post #MeToo materials like magazines, films, TV commercials, books, music, and paintings will be indispensable in order to carry out a Task-Based Approach, whose final activity will consist in setting up a #MeToo exhibition at the high school’s gymnasium. Moreover, students will have the chance to immerse themselves in real-life materials to later produce their own as a form of solidarity and support.
