Deep dives
The Global Impact of the Me Too Movement
The podcast episode discusses the Me Too movement and its global impact. The speaker shares their personal experience of witnessing the movement's emergence and highlights its transformative achievements, such as raising awareness about everyday sexist behaviors and providing a vocabulary to address and combat such behaviors. However, the discussion also points out that the movement has been predominantly centered around Western perspectives, excluding the voices and experiences of global majority communities. This observation inspired the creation of the book 'The Other Me Too's,' which aims to amplify and highlight the experiences and impacts of Me Too in non-Western countries and communities.
