Metoo campaign moves streets france

The #MeToo movement has indeed had a significant impact on the streets of France, as well as globally. Here are some examples:

  1. Marches and protests: In October 2018, thousands of women in France took to the streets to protest against sexual harassment and assault, inspired by the #MeToo movement. The marches, known as "Les Marches des Femmes" (Women's Marches), were held in several cities across the country, including Paris, Lyon, and Marseille.
  2. Street art and murals: In response to the #MeToo movement, street artists in France created murals and graffiti in cities like Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux, featuring messages of solidarity and support for survivors of sexual harassment and assault.
  3. Public awareness campaigns: French cities have launched public awareness campaigns to combat sexual harassment and assault. For example, the city of Paris launched a campaign called "Paris sans Harcèlement" (Paris without Harassment), which aims to raise awareness about sexual harassment and promote a culture of respect and consent.
  4. Increased reporting: The #MeToo movement has led to an increase in reporting of sexual harassment and assault in France. According to a survey by the French National Observatory for Delinquency and Criminal Policy, the number of reported cases of sexual harassment and assault increased by 15% in 2018 compared to the previous year.
  5. Changes in laws and policies: The #MeToo movement has also led to changes in laws and policies in France. For example, in 2018, the French government passed a law making sexual harassment a criminal offense, punishable by up to two years in prison. Additionally, the government has launched initiatives to improve the handling of sexual harassment and assault cases in the workplace and in education.
