Article Draft Ideas

The workplace was talked about frequently throughout the article, I plan to include a section about how the movement #MeToo is used in the workplace. These are the two sources I plan to use in that section.

ROUGH DRAFT--

ORIGIN--

Many sexual assault movements have been created on social media platforms. Two examples of online movements are #MeToo and #NotGuilty. American actress, Alyssa Milano, popularized the phrase "Me Too" that was created in 2006 by Tarana Burke, by forming the social media hashtag #MeToo. Along with the social media movement, #MeToo, Ione Wells created #NotGuilty, "A campaign against sexual violence and misdirected victim blame." Ione Wells explained how she became a victim of sexual assault in April of 2015. Acknowledging her attacker, she decided to address him in a letter, revealing that his attack did not only affect her, but her family, friends, coworkers, and everyone in her to day to day life. She decided she would take a stand and address all sexual assaults. Wells created the campaign #NotGuilty by founding a website and speaking of her personal assault on a Ted Talk and online. She saw her attack not as a defeat, but as an opportunity to help other sexual assault victims come forward and share their personal stories. Ione Well's campaign, along with the movement #MeToo, has promoted victims to speak out about their assault.

AWARENESS AND EMPATHY-

On January 28, 2018, singer and songwriter Ke$ha performed her song, "Praying," at the Grammy Awards. She wrote the song after a legal dispute with her producer, Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, also known as Dr. Luke. She claimed that he harassed and raped her three years previously. Dr. Luke denied these allegations and the judge ruled in Lukasz's favor. As a result of this verdict, Ke$ha chose to bring awareness to sexual assault by addressing her alleged attacker in the song. This song could be seen as a tribute to the #MeToo movement. Singer-songwriter Janelle Monae gave a speech regarding the #MeToo movement, stating, "We... have the power to undo the culture that does not serve us well." Monae's statement created a platform for victims of sexual assault to publicly address their attack.

In April of 2015, Ione Wells was sexually violated on her walk home from a night out with friends. Her teenage attacker followed her home and grabbed her. She decided to not let this define her but to bring awareness to her own personal story. She wrote a letter, addressing her attacker, explaining that she believes there are more good people in the world than bad people and that she would not let this incident discourage her. Wells created the campaign #NotGuilty by funding a website where anonymous contributors can publish their stories for others to read, helping sexual assault victims feel stronger and not allowing their assault negatively affect them.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR REPORTING--

In 2015 the website for the campaign #NotGuilty was created. This website focuses on reducing victim-blaming, promoting the education of consent age, giving victims a voice, and forcing a sense of solidarity, raising awareness of the impact of rape, raising awareness that any non-consensual sexual activity is wrong, and generating positivity and strength in survivors. The website is not limited to sexual assault survivors, but contributors that can share positive thinking, creative writing, and ideas or thoughts they wish to share.

ME TOO IN THE WORKPLACE--

Sexual harassment or assault is very common in the workplace; 3 in 10 women have revealed they have put up with unwanted advances by male coworkers, and have endured it over time. Before #MeToo was created, two women decided they had had enough of the unwanted attention they were receiving from men. They filed a sexual harassment/retaliation lawsuit. One of the women had filed against an assistant police chief and the other woman had filed against the Ford company in Chicago. After these lawsuits had become popular, other victims of sexual harassment/assault decided to start coming forward about their incidents. Sexual harassment can be prominent in all types of work environments. It can occur in "white-collar professions such as finance and technology, as well as minimum-wage work in restaurants and hotels." Many women have said that they will not stop reporting these incidents until they are guaranteed a safe work environment and equality in the industry. Companies that choose to bring awareness and report these incidents have shown superiority to the companies that fall short. Women in the workplace have stated that "It is time to change the movement from #MeToo, to #NeverAgain."

SHARING STORIES--

Many stories have been shared with regards to sexual assault. Among these stories, one woman decided to take a stand on sexual assault for the first time on Facebook. She told her story to let other women know they are not alone in their experiences. When other women saw her post, they began messaging her privately, explaining how they had been assaulted, but that they were hesitant to report their stories publicly. Ruth Everhart is a pastor who shared her story of sexual assault. She was a senior at a small Christian college, she and four of her roommates were held captive and brutally raped at gunpoint by two masked intruders. Her #MeToo story could be seen as an inspiration to other women to share their stories within the church.

A website was created by Ione Wells, #NotGuilty, allows victims to anonymously report their assault.
