This session introduces the stories of individuals whose courage in the face of gross abuses of power and unjust treatment have helped to expose and uproot the deeply entrenched behaviors and attitudes that allowed their perpetuation. From the voices of courage that exposed the sexual misconduct of one of Hollywood's most influential film producers, sparking the #MeToo movement and its subsequent spread to the spheres of law, culture, theater, film, academia, and politics, to the voices, raised from the inside, that have posed a challenge to abuses of power by those in authority, these stories highlight the importance of every individual's right to be respected.
