Letter Published in The National UAE on 8 Nov 18,Men should embrace the powerful #MeToo movement

I refer to Rashmee Roshan Lall’s opinion piece The MJ Akbar case shows women need men to embrace #MeToo for it to have any real impact (November 7). This was a delicately handled piece on the ongoing crisis in India’s growing #MeToo movement. The MJ Akbar affair has rumbled on for more than three weeks and more women are coming forward to air their grievances

The movement has taken on momentum, aided by the media and activists. Naturally, it is important that justice and due process prevail. As the writer rightly argues, men should also embrace this powerful movement, both in India and globally. Ultimately, the truth can only emerge following thorough investigation.
