SWEDCHAM Event IWD 2023: Did the #MeToo Movement Bring Actual Change?

When

March 1, 2023    
6:15 pm - 10:00 pm

In 2017, the New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor published a report that exposes sexual abuse allegations against powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The shocking story served as a launching pad for the #MeToo movement, shattering decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault and harassment.

To mark the International Women’s Day 2023​, SwedCham’s Women4Women Committee and the Embassy of Sweden in Singapore invite you to a screening of the movie “She Said”​ (watch trailer here​) at The Projector​. After the screening, we will have a 30 min open mic discussion on what we have learnt since the start of the #MeToo movement and where we are today, in 2023. The discussion will be moderated by policy expert Neha Thakkar​. There will be opportunities for networking both before and after the film/discussion.

Date: Wednesday 1 March 2023
Time: 6:15-10 pm (movie screening starts at 7:00 pm)
Venue: The Projector​, 6001 Beach Road, Golden Mile Tower, #05-00, Singapore 199589 (Blue Room)
Ticket: $45 (includes the movie screening, one drink of choice and popcorn/nachos).

You can purchase additional drinks as well as food at your own expense before and after the movie. Food service closes at 9 pm and the bar at 10 pm.

The event is open to the public.

This event is hosted by SwedCham’s Women4Women Committee and the Embassy of Sweden in Singapore.
