AI Summary

long article 4 min

The #MeToo movement has gained momentum in Colombia, leading to a wave of sexual harassment claims across various sectors. Sparked by a journalist sharing her past experience after Caracol, a Colombian television channel, suspended two journalists for similar allegations, many other women have come forward. Using hashtags like #MeTooColombia and #YoTeCreoColega, dozens of female journalists reported incidents at media outlets. Caracol subsequently terminated the contracts of two prominent journalists, who denied the accusations. Beyond media, over 220 reports received by a group of journalists detail harassment in fields like medicine, education, and NGOs, highlighting the widespread nature of the issue in Colombia.
