Yes, I think there are two folds to the #MeToo movement. One would be that women feel empowered. We can now come out and say that we're survivors of sexual violence. However, the other thing to think about is how triggering it is for individuals to hear about everyone's experiences with regard to sexual violence. Although we want people to feel empowered to come forward and to get the support they need, I think there is some trauma that is created within each.... Because it's so public, it becomes quite traumatic for individuals who have experienced something similar or for them to just know that there is such a risk. Every day, women are faced with the risk of being sexually assaulted, and that just came more to light with the #MeToo movement and, similarly, right now with Hockey Canada.
