A #MeToo movement is sweeping through Taiwan – thanks to ‘Wave Makers’ on Netflix

 

As #MeToo movement sweeps through Taiwan, more women come forward with sexual harassment complaints

The movement is said to have been sparked by the Netflix show Wave Makers, which featured a scene where a young female aide reveals to her mentor that she had been sexually harassed by a male colleague.

Taiwan is seen as one of the most progressive democracies in Asia, but the recent spate of #MeToo cases show that gender inequality remains a problem, according to activists.
