Copyright © 2018 Korean Neuropsychiatric Association 433 Human rights and equality have progressed and matured slowly. In the progress, we had gained the civil and female suffrage. Moreover, another transformation recently springs up around the world. That is the Me Too movement. The Me Too movement (or #Me Too) is a movement against sexual harassment and assault.1 #MeToo spread on social media in October 2017, and then it revealed the prevalence and magnitude of problems with sexual harassment and assault, especially in the workplace, including academia and medicine. Research showed that about 30% of women and 4% of men among U.S. academic medical faculty members reported ex- periencing sexual harassment.2 Other reported that 60% of medical trainees and students experienced harassment or discrimination during training.3 Moreover, this movement has led widespread discussion about how to stop problems with sexual abuse or harassment at work. The world no lon- ger considers these issues to be solved by individuals. There have been some barriers among these discussions or debates which should be overcome in the future. One of them is a vigilance movement to keep a distance from other gender. For example, some men have expressed the desire to keep a greater distance from women. Perhaps such a reaction is be- cause they do not fully understand what actions is considered inappropriate or wrong. And it is more worrying that those responses seem to be reactive aggression behind it. Such a confrontation between genders does not help solve the prob- lem with sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. Other is a wrong prejudice; when the problem with sexual ha- rassment is accused, it is sometimes regarded as an accuser’s fault or evidence of social maladjustment. This misguided prejudice and atmosphere have kept victims in silence for a long time. Therefore, this wrong prejudice should be elimi- Print ISSN 1738-3684 / On-line ISSN 1976-3026 OPEN ACCESS nated. It was suggested that the #Me Too movement has shifted the norms surrounding sexual harassment in workplaces. One of them is the agreement that sexual harassment (not just sexual assault) constitutes a threat and is unacceptable in the workplace.4 It requires policies, education, and training to accomplish these shifts of the norm. Policies must include an effective re- porting and investigation system. Because there is a general consensus that a lack of effective reporting systems is a major factor that drives sexual misconduct in the workplace. Some organizations have set up an independent intermediary or outside system or options with a hotline to report inappropri- ate actions. And it needs to develop public policies and sys- tems to provide protection and support services for legal and psychological issues. Above all, education and training are more important and necessary. The contents of the education and training should include as the followings: what words and behaviors are sexual harassment or gender bias, and when she or he experiences or observes sexual harassment or gender bias, she or he can speak up without fear and should be en- couraged to do. This recent transformation is not limited to sexual harass- ment and assault, but it should be expanded as follows: Dis- crimination or harassment based on gender, race, color, reli- gion, national origin, gender orientation, gender identity, age, or disability will not be tolerated in anyone. We all have to act and participate to achieve the shift and change. REFERENCES 1. Zacharek S, Dockterman E, Edwards HS. The silence breakers. TIME.
