Defamation ruling a victory for women’s rights in India The aftermath of #MeToo Like in other places across the world, the #MeToo movement generated discussion in India about sexual harassment within the workplace, particularly in the entertainment and film industries. As an immediate aftereffect, more women were encouraged to speak up against their harassers, both publicly and anonymously. Filmmaker Vinta Nanda had spoken up against veteran Bollywood actor Alok Nath, whom she accused of rape. "Before the movement, I was afraid to move because I felt isolated and ostracized," she told DW. But now, she added, "I know I am not alone."
