Most people have seen the thousands of tweets and Facebook posts from women identifying themselves as victims of sexual harassment or assault over the last couple of days with the hashtag #MeToo. Actress Alyssa Milano propelled this call to action after watching Harvey Weinstein’s, a Hollywood film producer and former film studio executive, downfall over of allegations of repeated sexual misconduct over decades. The goal of \u2018#MeToo\u2019 was to give people a sense of the pervasiveness of the problem in which women face every day. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Did you know that according to the Canadian Womens Foundation, sexual assault is the only violent crime in Canada that is not declining?<\/p>\n

Angus Reid’s most recent study on sexual harassment in the workplace, from 2014, found that three in 10 Canadians reported being on the receiving end of “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or sexually-charged talk while on the job.”<\/p>\n

The \u2018#MeToo\u2019 phenomenon has started conversations everywhere, including the difficulty talking about it, but how do Indigenous women feel about it? Indigenous women are at heightened risk of being sexually assaulted (Justice) and even less likely to report to the police. Sexual harassment is a lived reality daily. Does \u2018#MeToo\u2019 resonate within you the same way as it does for Hollywood\u2019s elite? Or, does it touch on larger issues of inequality?<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think?<\/p>\n
