The Global #Me Too Movement: Feminism's Moment and the Limits of the Law

In many countries, some version of the #Me Too movement has managed to do what the law could not. Global #Me Too has confronted gender injustice, made visible women's experiences of harassment and abuse, and has demanded accountability. This cultural reckoning has transformed emotional and experiential energies into sources of resistance and power. The result has been a powerful feminist moment, fraught by the complexities of the (sometimes conflicting) imperatives of social and legal justice, and potentially undermined by backlash.
