Chen Chien-Jou: The Woman Behind Taiwan's MeToo Movement

Chen Chien-Jou, the woman who launched Taiwan's MeToo movement, spoke out about her experience of being inappropriately touched by a filmmaker and the lack of support she received from a senior party official. Since coming forward, over 100 survivors have accused prominent figures in politics, the arts, academia, and civil society of sexual harassment and abuse. Chen believes that the movement is a chance for survivors to find closure and for society to learn that physical boundaries and human dignity must be respected. She acknowledges the challenges of the movement, including the need for cultural change and the potential for false accusations, but remains committed to giving survivors a safe space to speak out.
