Abstract
Written by Selen Bayram-Helmer the final contribution to this issue addresses a timely topic: the #MeToo movement which gained momentum after the New York Times published decades of detailed allegations of sexual harassment against Hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein. To better address the issue of sexual harassment, Bayram-Helmer suggests that men and women need to work together to change the fundamental problem of gender inequality. Furthermore, in addition to this collaboration, we may need a second collaboration of philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and historians (among others) to address this multifaceted issue.
Highlights
Since October 2017, we are engulfed with the topic of sexual harassment, originating from the USA
Almost everyone is familiar with the infamous producer, the countless actresses and the hashtags that have initiated this wave, so I shall set those aside
As I deem appropriate with tradition, we can see that a collection of, in my opinion, the most important conventional views is present in the statement of the European Commission, published on March 6, 2018 on the occasion of International Women’s Day. In this declaration the following is stated: “Equality between women and men is one of the fundamental values of the European Union enshrined in our treaties. (...) The path to full equality in practice is still a long one. (...) We want girls and women to achieve equality in all aspects of life: access to education, equal pay for equal work, access to top positions in companies and politics as well as protection from violence.”[2]
