What Actually Mee Too Movement Is

What actually mee too movement is?
The Me Too movement in India is a manifestation of the international Me Too movement that

occurred in late 2018 in parts of Indian society including government, media, and the Bollywood
film industry. In India, the Me Too movement is seen as either an independent outgrowth
influenced by the international campaign against sexual harassment of women in the workplace,
or an offshoot of the American "Me Too" social movement.[1] Me Too began gaining prominence
in India with the increasing popularity of the international movement, and later gathered sharp
momentum in October 2018 in the entertainment industry of Bollywood, centered in Mumbai,
when actress Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment.[2] This led to many
women in the news media, Indian films, and even within the government to speak out and bring
allegations of sexual harassment against a number of perpetrators. [3]
In short Year 2017 that sparked off the #Me Too campaign after the Harvey Weinstein scandal in
the US has motivated the women to throw allegations in India especially the Bollywood and
Media arena, after the actor Tanushree Dutta accused her co-star Nana Patekar of sex harassment
during a film shoot that happened 10 years ago.
Obviously in my opinion mee 2 movement is appropriate in society
 This movement empowered the women to form a community and help each other in
talking about the bitter truths of sexual abuse in the world and has helped the victims better fit in
the society
 It raised awareness among women about their rights as an individual in the work place or
outside and helped men understand the consequences of the same.
 This has helped bringing out the buried truth about Harvey Weinstein and many other
men like him and brought them to justice in the eyes of the world.
 It helps individual’s suffering regardless of the sex, race or religion.
 On paper, it looks like a good movement as it gives women the courage to speak up
The original purpose was a phenomenal purpose. To stop men of power from sexually
assaulting the women below them

 The phrase "Me too" was tweeted by Milano around noon on October 2017, and had been
used more than 200,000 times by the end of the day, and tweeted more than 500,000 times within
24 hours.
 Bollywood actors Alok Nath (Granted Anticipatory Bail); Nana Patekar; former
executive vice chairman of The Energy and Resources Institute R K Pachauri are
among the many renowned personalities who are facing the brunt of MeToo
campaign and trying to get their reputation back. Many of the accused men have
filed defamation suits against these women filing cases against them for sexual
harassment.
 On Facebook, the hashtag was used by more than 4.7 million people in 12 million posts.
conclusions that I’ve arrived There is no doubt that #MeToo has managed to raise
awareness on an issue that has been long brushed under the carpet, from serious
sexual harassment to routine sexism that women face at workplaces every day. A
conversation has begun. But it needs to be balanced between both the sexes.
Women are raising voice on social networks, but the men need to speak up too. We
need to collectively believe the voices, question work ethics, engage with each
other in conversations and address the grey areas of gender relations.
Violence against women is a public health problem. It affects women from all
walks of life. Not just celebrities or the privileged class, it impacts millions of
domestic workers, sex workers, women working in factories, construction sites,
wives, mothers, at home and in office. The numbers are huge. No wonder #MeToo
found a resonance so quickly with so many across the world. The fact is that there
are millions of women willing to come forward and narrate their individual,
traumatic, uncomfortable and embarrassing experiences. That’s a good sign.
#MeToo is a powerful campaign
The two simple words have been echoing around the world for the past year. The
momentum generated by #MeToo can be an opportunity to bring real social
change.
1. Women continue to be harassed at their workplaces, even after five years of

enactment of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention,
Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
The major challenge is to encourage women to come out and share their experiences
of sexual harassment. I firmly believe that all the women who are victims of sexual
harassment must raise their voice. A woman must complain about such incidents,
immediately at the time of its occurrence. And if she feels that her complaint is not
being registered or is not being fairly addressed, she should resort to other available
alternatives like calling out the harasser on social media platforms.
Another challenge is about a few individuals who are VIPs and hold powerful and
important portfolios. For them to be punished, a massive campaign will be needed.
Media will be required to play a critical role in this. It will not be easy, but as India is
a democracy, no government can ignore the citizen’s demands for a long time. And
gradually, the law will take its course.
#MeToo is a very significant campaign. It’s all about spreading awareness and giving
women the strength, to raise their voice. I sincerely hope that all the wrongdoers will
be duly punished.
