Women’s Aid director says #MeToo is a healthy movement

The director of Women’s Aid has described the #MeToo campaign, where people allege offensive or abusive behaviour they have experienced, as a “healthy movement.”

Some commentators call the movement a “witch hunt” because the accused are exposed by media and not tried in court, but Margaret Martin says offensive behaviour has been normalised for too long in society.

“One of the things about what’s happening now is more and more woman are starting to talk and it’s almost like a tidal wave,” said Ms Martin.
