Lawmakers Face #MeToo Reckoning: 12 Dozen Accused in 8 Years
The #MeToo movement has sent shockwaves through statehouses nationwide, with 12 dozen lawmakers accused of misconduct over the past 8 years. Women in politics, like Virginia lawmaker Jackie Glass, are speaking out about the culture of harassment and intimidation they face. Glass recalled receiving a 'safety brief' when she joined the Legislature, warning her about certain colleagues to avoid. As the movement continues to gain momentum, lawmakers are being held accountable for their actions, and women are demanding a safer, more respectful work environment. With the rise of women in politics and the growing awareness of sexual harassment, it's clear that the #MeToo impact will be felt for years to come, driving change and promoting gender equality.
