Recent research shows that the #MeToo movement is active mostly in countries that are better at protecting their citizens’ political and civil rights and civil liberties. What does that say about its relevance beyond the frontiers of democracy? How much can it influence positive change in both democratic and non-democratic regimes? And what does the conversation that it sparked bring to the current state of international politics?
