Points and Proofs
The prime minister of iceland talks about how many countries are trying top help these women.
"As for my own country, Iceland, #MeToo has been characterized by organized groups of women who shared their stories of violence and abuse, anonymously, as a way to underpin collective demands for structural change. This act of testimonial story-telling was extremely powerful. As more women spoke out, the more marginal realities were exposed, forcing us to urgently examine places where a culture of impunity had manifested."
after the Prime minister took action and was helping out other countires women saw some change.
“#MeToo’s impact has, to be sure, varied from one country to the next; in some, it has been minimal, in others, massive. Politics, the arts, businesses, and NGOs were upended. Increasingly, women who spoke out weren’t automatically met with disbelief, with some perpetrators even having been held to account.”
all around the world women are getting abused and not having there rights that all humans should have
