French society 'remains very sexist in all of its spheres', watchdog body says

#Meetoo 5 years on: French society 'remains very sexist', says watchdog body

The council's proposed 10-point plan of action included a call for tougher regulation of online content.

Five years into the #MeToo movement, French society "remains very sexist in all of its spheres,&rdquo; a government-created equality watchdog said in an annual report Monday that also sounded the alarm about double-digit rates of sexual violence reported by women.
The High Council for Equality between Women and Men called for a national &ldquo;emergency plan&rdquo; to combat what it described as &rdquo;the massive, violent and sometimes lethal consequences" of sexism against women.
In a survey commissioned by the council, one-third of women reported having been badgered by their partners into sexual acts that they didn't want. Around one in seven of the survey's women respondents said men had forced sex on them, and a similar number reported having been hit and shoved by their partners, the council said.
The council's president, Sylvie Pierre-Brossolette, expressed particular concern about sexism among younger men &ldquo;bathed in social media, digital (technology), pornography.&rdquo; She said sexism must be &rdquo;fought from the youngest of ages.&rdquo; The council will present its findings to French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.

&ldquo;Young people, in particular, are brought up digitally on these scenes of mundane violence, of relations between men and women that are completely of domination and dominated, and that has impregnated society," Pierre-Brossolette said, speaking to broadcaster France Inter.
&ldquo;Uprooting sexism is very hard,&rdquo; she added.
The council's proposed 10-point plan of action included a call for tougher regulation of online content. Other suggestions included making training against sexism obligatory in workplaces and banning adverts that suggest some children's toys are for boys and others for girls.
France has made significant progress in some areas. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is only its second woman to hold the post and parliament's lower house also has its first-ever woman president, Ya&euml;l Braun-Pivet, since June.
Macron's government has also increased police resources against domestic violence and offered free birth control to all women up to age 25.
Lawmakers are also working to constitutionally guarantee France's abortion rights, with a bill intended to prevent any of the rollbacks in reproductive rights seen elsewhere, including in the United States.
Still, the equality council described the overall situation for women in France as &ldquo;alarming.&rdquo; &ldquo;Sexism is not retreating in France," the council's report said. &ldquo;On the contrary, some of its most violent manifestations are getting worse and the young generations are the most affected."

 Harvey Weinstein found guilty of rape in Los Angeles trial

 #MeToo: Harvey Weinstein found guilty in second sex crimes trial

Weinstein, 70, who is two years into a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York that is under appeal, could get up to 24 years in prison in California when he's sentenced

After a month-long trial and nine days of deliberations, Los Angeles jurors on Monday found Harvey Weinstein guilty of the rape and sexual assault of just one of the four accusers he was charged with abusing.
But the three guilty counts involving an Italian actor and model known at the trial as Jane Doe 1 still struck a major blow against the disgraced movie mogul, and provided another #MeToo moment of reckoning, five years after he became a magnet for the movement.
Weinstein, 70, who is two years into a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York that is under appeal, could get up to 24 years in prison in California when he's sentenced.

He was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and another sexual misconduct count involving the woman who said he appeared uninvited at her hotel room door during a Los Angeles film festival in 2013.
&ldquo;Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get that back. The criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein's lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see this through to the end, and I did,&rdquo; the woman said in a statement after the verdict. "I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.&rdquo; Weinstein was acquitted of a sexual battery allegation made by a massage therapist who treated him at a hotel in 2010.
The jury was unable to reach a decision on counts involving two accusers, notably rape and sexual assault charges involving Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a documentary filmmaker and the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. A mistrial was declared on those counts.
Weinstein looked down at the table and appeared to put his face in his hands when the initial guilty counts were read. He looked forward as the rest of the verdict was read.
&ldquo;Harvey is obviously disappointed in the verdict. He knows what happened and what never did,&rdquo; Weinstein's spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said in an email, saying there was a strong basis for an appeal on the convictions. &ldquo;Harvey is grateful for the jury's work on the other counts, and he's determined to continue his legal challenges in ultimately proving his innocence.&rdquo; Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon applauded the accusers for their bravery to testify in the case, saying in a statement he was disappointed by the split verdict but hoped it brings &ldquo;some measure of justice to the victims.&rdquo; &ldquo;Harvey Weinstein will never be able to rape another woman. He will spend the rest of his life behind bars where he belongs,&rdquo; Siebel Newsom said in a statement. &ldquo;Throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers used sexism, misogyny, and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean, and ridicule us survivors. The trial was a stark reminder that we as a society have work to do.&rdquo; Siebel Newsom's intense and dramatic testimony, in which she described being raped by Weinstein in a hotel room in 2005, brought the trial its most dramatic moments. But only eight of the 12 jurors agreed to find Weinstein guilty of those counts.
Jurors were deadlocked 10-2 on a sexual battery count involving Lauren Young, the only accuser who testified at both Weinstein trials. She said she was a model aspiring to be an actor and screenwriter who was meeting with Weinstein about a script in 2013 when he trapped her in a hotel bathroom, groped her and masturbated in front of her.
Lacking any forensic evidence or eyewitness accounts of years-old allegations, the case hinged heavily on the stories and credibility of the four women at the centre of the charges.
The women's stories echoed the allegations of dozens of others who have emerged since Weinstein became a #MeToo lightning rod starting with stories in the New York Times in 2017. A movie about that reporting, &ldquo;She Said,&rdquo; was released during the trial, and jurors were repeatedly warned not to see it.
It was the defence that made #MeToo an issue during the trial, however, emphasizing that none of the four women went to the authorities until after the movement made Weinstein a target.
Defence lawyers said two of the women &mdash; including the one he would be found guilty of raping &mdash; were entirely lying about their encounters with Weinstein. They said the other two had &ldquo;100 per cent consensual&rdquo; sexual interactions that they later reframed.
Defence attorneys said during the trial that if Siebel Newsom hadn't reached her later prominence she would be "just another bimbo who slept with Harvey Weinstein to get ahead in Hollywood.&rdquo; &ldquo;Regret is not the same thing as rape,&rdquo; Weinstein attorney Alan Jackson said in his closing argument.
He urged jurors to look past the the women's emotional testimony and focus on the factual evidence.
&ldquo;Believe us because we're mad, believe us because we cried,'&rdquo; Jackson said jurors were being asked to do. &ldquo;Well, fury does not make fact. And tears do not make truth.&rdquo; All the women involved in the charges went by Jane Doe in court. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly or agree to be named through their attorneys, as the women named here did.
Prosecutors called 40 other witnesses in an attempt to give context and corroboration to those stories. Four were other women who were not part of the charges but testified that Weinstein raped or sexually assaulted them. They were brought to the stand to establish a pattern of sexual predation.
Weinstein beat four other felony charges before the trial even ended when prosecutors said a woman he was charged with raping twice and sexually assaulting twice would not appear to testify. They declined to give a reason. Judge Lisa Lench dismissed those charges.
Weinstein's latest conviction hands a victory to victims of sexual misconduct of famous men in the wake of some legal setbacks, including the dismissal of Bill Cosby's conviction last year. The rape trial of &ldquo;That '70s Show&rdquo; actor Danny Masterson, held simultaneously and just down the hall from Weinstein's, ended in a mistrial. And actor Kevin Spacey was victorious at a sexual battery civil trial in New York last month.
Weinstein's New York conviction survived an initial appeal, but the case is set to be heard by the state's highest court next year. The California conviction, also likely to be appealed, means he will not walk free even if the East Coast conviction is thrown ou

R&amp;B superstar R Kelly's decade long trial over accusations of sexual misconduct and abuse, finally came to end after a New York jury found him guilty on Monday, sentencing him 20 years in prison.
R Kelly was found guilty of systematically recruiting women and teenagers for sex, before grooming and brutally abusing them.
The most serious charge against Kelly was of racketeering,&nbsp;which includes 14 underlying acts like kidnapping, forced labor, sex trafficking and bribery. Lurid testimony provided by victims also included accusations of rape, druggings, imprisonment and child pornography.&nbsp;Kelly was also charged with eight counts of violating&nbsp;the Mann Act. an anti-sex trafficking law.
Even if he is acquitted in New York, Kelly still faces prosecution in three other jurisdictions,&nbsp; including Illinois federal court.
This high profile case&nbsp;though not a public trial, is being considered a landmark moment&nbsp;in the #MeToo movement as it sends an important message about the voices that&nbsp;matter.&nbsp;
One of the 1990s' brightest stars whose hits included "I Believe I Can Fly," the disgraced Kelly was long trailed by abuse allegations, but evaded them for decades.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The BJP on Sunday took a swipe at the Congress over its Punjab chief ministerial pick Charanjit Singh Channi. It citing reported allegations that Channi had sent an inappropriate text to a woman IAS officer in 2018.
BJP leader Amit Malviya tweeted, "Congress's CM pick Charanjit Channi faces action in a 3-year-old MeToo case. He had allegedly sent an inappropriate text to a woman IAS officer in 2018. It was covered up but the case resurfaced when Punjab Women's Commission sent notice. Well done, Rahul."
The issue had resurfaced in May this year when Punjab women panel chief threatened to go on a hunger strike if the state government failed to apprise her within a week of its stand on the &ldquo;inappropriate text&rdquo; message allegedly sent by Channi. He was then a minister in the Amarinder Singh government.
Punjab Women Commission chairperson Manisha Gulati had said she had written to the chief secretary seeking the government&rsquo;s action taken report.
At that time, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had asked Channi to tender an apology to the woman officer and had said he believed the matter has been &ldquo;resolved&rdquo; to her satisfaction.
