Old Dilemmas, New Voices: Feminist Ethics and #MeToo

Nearly 5 years have passed since the #MeToo movement‘s worldwide impact. In the meantime, many serious issues have surfaced, with considerable global backlash in response to claims concerning gender equality. How did the #MeToo movement change the world, especially in terms of its responses to sexual violence? How does it relate to various other social movements? How has it affected feminist scholarship or state policies?
