#MeToo in Middle America

On the Media | Nov 17, 2017

The latest sexual harassment revelations have been called a "sea change". But a sea change for whom? As reporters investigate America's upper echelons, journalist Sarah Smarsh argues we're not talking enough about those who are most vulnerable to sexual harassment: the working poor. The abuse of female Marinesfast food and domestic workers, and women without a safety net is well-documented but garners less attention. Brooke talks with Smarsh about how the #metoo movement is manifesting in her native Kansas and how local journalists are investigating sexual misconduct in their backyard.
