#MeToo originated in 2017. Grandmas appeared at a press conference in 1992 to accuse the Japanese military of sexual violence, which subsequently triggered other grandmas to seek help and disclose their past experiences of violence. Grandmas can be said to be the forerunners of #MeToo. They awakened the world. This is grandma’s contribution to human society!
Victims of gender-based violence are afraid of being accused or have been accused due to gender discrimination or myths about gender-based violence. They do not dare to seek help or have no way to seek help and become silent victims. Victims were encouraged to come forward to seek help and even spoke out as #MeToo campaigners. When victims ask for help, speak out, or enter judicial proceedings, they often face suspicion and blame because they fail to meet the ideal victim's imagination in the patriarchal society, and often become silent victims again.
In response to the #MeToo movement, sexual assault victims are being bullied online. Hong Kong artist Wen Jingying was invited to display the art work "If I Were III". In response to the #MeToo movement, sexual assault victims were being bullied online. Wen Jingying suddenly felt empathy. importance, so we created three coloring sheets, namely "If I were the victim", "If I were the perpetrator" and "If I were the bystander", allowing the audience to assume three roles to express their feelings and idea. The response from the audience was enthusiastic. In 2018, more than 1,200 people visited the exhibition, and hundreds of viewers participated in the creation by coloring. Wen Jingying summarized the flowers colored by participants over the years into a "post-#MeToo" animation.
