What MeToo changed for women around the world

PARIS - The birth of #MeToo in the United States in October 2017 gave millions of women around the world a powerful rallying cry to denounce sexual violence. The movement led to an outpouring of survivors' accounts.

"I never thought one day I would tell my story and reveal my secret but reading several testimonies… encouraged me," said a 26-year-old Tunisian beautician, who was sexually assaulted as a child. "I decided to raise awareness, and I began with my parents, my sisters, my aunts, my cousins. I try to make them understand that to have a rape victim is never something shameful," she said.

"I still struggle with the way that women are treated in the city. I've heard men make comments about my appearance, my looks, even my weight," she said."I got the sense that people still think they're above the law here or that they can still get away with things because they're in a position of power.
