- A flood of accusations of sexual harassment has raised questions about the state of women's rights on a democratic island that has long been one of Asia's most progressive places.
- Wave Makers, a popular political drama on Netflix, inspired women in Taiwan to speak out about sexual harassment.
- Taiwan has made significant strides in many ways, helping to elect the island's first female president and strengthening laws against rape and sexual assault before #MeToo gained momentum in the United States. However, the flood of new sexual harassment accusations points to deeply ingrained sexism that leaves women vulnerable in the workplace and a culture that is quick to blame victims and cover up accusations against powerful men.
- Senior party and government officials were among the first to be accused of harassment and attempting to silence accusers, leading Ms. Tsai to apologize twice for her party's mishandling of internal complaints.
