The Harvey Weinstein effect

It all began with an article in The New York Times in early October, wherein several women alleged that they had been sexually harassed by movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Since then, a large number of other women have spoken out about the film mogul's sexual abuse — including Hollywood stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.

Weinstein himself has rejected all the accusations. What is meanwhile being called the "Harvey Weinstein effect" has sparked a global debate about sexual harassment by men, with further cases emerging almost daily.
