AB On October 5th 2017 the life of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein changed forever afterThe New York Times newspaper published an extensive article detailing the sexualabuse he had been inflicting on women in the entertainment industry for decades. Thevictims of the abuse who openly spoke about it at first were a beacon of light tocountless other women who came forth to claim they had been abused. It was thisoutpouring of public statements in the media across the world that brought back the metoo movement now rebranded under the #MeToo tag. The other side of so many womenreporting sexual abuse or misconduct in the film industry is the increasing long list ofmen accused of such reported actions, these men are publicly denounced as undesirableand therefore shunned from their workplaces and their previous social status regardlessof their power, wealth or fame. This unusual social atmosphere has created a uniquewindow of opportunity for women in the industry to open a social dialogue on thedisparity between men and women in many aspects of society. Women in the U.S.A.have taken on a social crusade that has been spread through the media across the worldinspiring millions of other women to do so as well. The #MeToo movement initiallyencouraged victims of sexual abuse to be public about the abuse, although now it is partof a larger picture, the fight to stop the abuse generated by gender inequality.
