The language and spectacle of public cancellation has a long history, but in recent years movements such as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter have prompted what's been described as a 'cancellation' or ' cultural boycott ' of celebrities, brands and companies . From its beginnings in African-American subcultures – and following a long tradition of the appropriation of black language by white people – the term 'cancel' and its meanings have been appropriated by predominantly white mainstream media since the mid-to-late 2010s.

Photo: VCG JD.com Inc.'s billionaire founder Richard Liu has settled a lawsuit filed by a former University of Minnesota student who accused him of raping her in 2018, bringing an abrupt end to one of China's most high-profile #MeToo cases. The agreement was announced in a joint statement by the lawyers for both sides late Saturday in the U.S., just two days before a jury trial was due to begin in a Hennepin county court in Minnesota. Last week, the lawyers selected 12 jurors, including five women, to hear the case that has seriously damaged Liu's reputation and once caused JD.

The year 2018 felt like a particularly hopeful time for actresses and women everywhere. In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the resulting #MeToo movement, over 300 women in Hollywood banded together to form Time's Up — an anti-sexual harassment organization promoting gender safety and equity in the workplace. They had high-profile supporters like Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, and Ashley Judd, and managed to raise over $22 million in their first year to provide legal aid to survivors. As of last January, however, Time's Up ceased to operate.

A swathe of recent plays and books cast literary victims in a new light. But it’s a trend that started well before #MeToo.

BY forcing the world to wake up to the daily sexual abuse suffered by women, the #MeToo movement became a social revolution of historic importance. Its legacy is still being determined. It began with a tweet: on Oct 15, 2017, American actor Alyssa Milano invited women to share their experiences of sexual harassment under the words "Me too". Within a year, the hashtag had been used more than 19 million times, according to Pew Research Center - pushing the issue of sexual assault to the top of the global agenda.

Already serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in New York, the 70-year-old former movie mogul faces different allegations, including several that prosecutors say occurred during a pivotal Oscar week in Los Angeles, per the AP. Jury selection for an eight-week trial begins Monday. Weinstein has been indicted on four counts of rape and seven other sexual assault counts involving five women, who will appear in court as Jane Does to tell their stories.

Following the beer industry's global #MeToo reckoning in 2021, Beer Agents for Change was formed by a group of experienced industry professionals. The group wanted to understand the experiences of those employed in the beer industry in Australia and a survey was undertaken to benchmark the state of the industry. To solve a problem, or to even make changes that will be effective, it is important to continue to quantify and qualify the issues that exist.

BUSAN — Pins hidden in her shoes, head forced down a toilet, kicked in the stomach: Korean hairdresser Pyo Ye-rim suffered a litany of abuse from school bullies, but now she's speaking out. The 26-year-old is part of a phenomenon sweeping South Korea known as 'Hakpok #MeToo', where people who were bullied publicly name and shame the perpetrators of school violence — 'hakpok' in Korean — decades after the alleged crimes. Made famous globally by Netflix's gory revenge series 'The Glory', the movement has ensnared everyone from K-pop stars to baseball players, and accusations — often anonymous — can be career-ending, with widespread public sympathy for victims.

Gen Z are the first generation to start their careers in a post-Me Too era. But how much the anti-harassment movement really shifted workplace culture is still up for debate. Like many women, I remember watching the Me Too movement mushroom as I scrolled through Facebook and Twitter in October 2017. While the hashtag #MeToo was first used in 2006 by black feminist activist Tarana Burke , who wanted to tackle sexual violence within her own community, it gained momentum following a viral tweet by actress Alyssa Milano after Harvey Weinstein's crimes were exposed.

BEIJING : A Chinese court rejected an appeal in a landmark sexual harassment case on Wednesday, dealing a blow to the country's fledgling #MeToo movement. Zhou Xiaoxuan stepped forward in 2018 to accuse popular state TV host Zhu Jun of forcibly kissing and groping her during her 2014 internship at the broadcaster. Zhou's case inspired many others to share their experiences of sexual assault publicly and sparked a social media storm. A Beijing court rejected her appeal on Wednesday (Aug 10), citing insufficient evidence.

Beijing: A landmark sexual harassment case in China was set to return to court after an earlier ruling dealt a blow to the country's fledgling #MeToo movement. Zhou Xiaoxuan stepped forward in 2018 to accuse state TV host Zhu Jun of forcibly kissing and groping her during her 2014 internship at the broadcaster. While the case of Zhou, now 29, inspired many others to share their experiences of sexual assault publicly and sparked a social media storm, a court ruled last year there was insufficient evidence to back her allegation.
