After the #MeToo movement from 2017, more organizations take victims’ complaints more seriously, which affected the decrease in all kinds of sexual harassment. For instance, unwanted sexual attention has declined from 66% to 23%, while sexual coercion has dropped from 25% to 16%.
However, although the rates of sexual harassment have declined, women seem to experience backlash after the movement. The percentage of female gender harassment increased from 76% in 2017 to 96% in 2018. Another good thing that has changed is that women have higher self-esteem and lower self-doubt than before.
