S3 E8. From Doubt to Belief: The Evolution of #MeToo and Survivor Testimony with Leigh Gilmore, author of The #MeToo Effect
The #MeToo movement empowered millions to speak out about sexual violence and changed the default response to women's accounts from universal doubt to selective belief. What changed?
In this episode, guest host Sarey Ruden speaks with Leigh Gilmore to discuss her book, “The #MeToo Effect: What Happens When We Believe Women”. They delve into the transformative impact of the #MeToo movement, exploring the evolution of societal responses to women's accounts of sexual violence.
A central theme revolves around the power of survivor testimony and the collective strength that arises when survivors speak together, challenging the status quo and paving the way for systemic change. The discussion underscores the importance of reframing the narrative, moving from a focus on individual stories to addressing institutional and cultural factors that perpetuate sexual violence.
