Disregard for incarcerated women
The development of #MeToo Behind Bars happened after a lawsuit was filed by four female inmates against correctional officers that brutally abused them. This new campaign's purpose is to bring awareness to the public of sexual violence towards women in prison. Sara Kershner, lead campaign organizer, mentions that the perpetrators of this type of violence is usually the state, institutions, and society. She believes society disregards human rights of those who are incarerated simply because they do not deserve them. As a result, there is no solidarity.
