Abstract

This research aims to analyze the #MeToo women's activism movement that occurred on social media regarding sexual harassment in 2017. Inequalities due to social and gender constructs make women very vulnerable to sexual harassment because their position in society is considered weak and trivial. It is important to have a social movement that is able to coordinate women's voices. This research uses a library study method where research are carried out by reviewing relevant literature materials. In this research, the results showed that the root of sexual harassment experienced by women was due to patriarchy. The #MeToo movement seeks to change the existing system with the active participation of women as parties who directly experienced the oppression themselves. The implications of this analysis provide a clearer understanding of the importance of providing safe public spaces for victims in order for them to raise a social issue.
