Lessons from #MeToo Where Are We Now?

With #MeToo having taken the world by storm in the last few years, refl ecting on debates in the Indian context reveals some important lessons. Due process is one of them but is not the key takeaway; attention must be paid to how feminist solidarities are being forged. Further, contextualising it within the changing nature of the nation state makes #MeToo stand out in the trajectory of feminist movements in India, as being one that does not engage with the state or any institution. It thus embodies what Latin American feminists have called "politics in feminine, " in which politics of desire unseat the rights-based focus of such movements.
