China is having its own moment of reckoning with sexual harassment and assault.
Like the recent #MeToo movement that ignited in the United States and propelled many women to speak out against their harassers, a Chinese woman who openly accused her former university teaching assistant of sexual assault has inspired more to come out with their stories. The news has revealed the widespread extent of sexual harassment within China’s higher education sector and society at large.
