A #MeToo protest swept Turin
university Monday with female students marching through the arts
faculty and holding a meeting in the atrium in the wake of the
recent suspension of a philosophy lecturer accused of molesting
his students and the arrest of a forensic pathology lecturer on
charges of sexual violence.
"Some of the girls are fearing reprisals," said the organisers
of the protest.
Teaching staff voiced their solidarity with the demonstrations,
which take their name from the protest movement that started in
the US entertainment industry against widespread sexual abuse by
actors, directors and other male authority figures.
