Amid the various efforts to create a just and equitable world for men and women, women continue to experience sexual harassment. Protests over violence against women received worldwide attention during the 75th Golden Globe Awards that was held on Sunday evening (7/1) at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Actresses, agents, writers, directors and executives of the entertainment world wore black, with several of them sporting pins that read “Time\'s Up”, in a show of solidarity with the victims of sexual harrassment.
Protests against the sexual harassment of women have come to the world\'s attention since the 2016 US presidential campaign. The American public became divisive when Donald Trump, who had made statements that were deemed sexist, was finally elected president. On Jan. 21, 2017, women and men in the US campaigned for civil and human rights, including women\'s rights, through the Women\'s March.
