The feminist movement has been fighting for more justice since Weinstein, but violence against women and queers is on the rise. Has the feminist movement failed? A taz talk with Carolina Schwarz.
A lot has happened since #metoo emerged in October 2017: changes are visible in all sectors and areas. So it feels like something is moving in the right direction.

However, police statistics and studies show a very different picture. The situation for women and queer people is disastrous and is getting worse.
Violence is increasing in all areas and a woman is now killed by her (ex-)husband almost every other day in Germany. Politicians shrug their shoulders and watch.
So was the feminist movement really a success? Or was all the progress made long ago buried under setbacks? In her book, Carolina Schwarz takes stock of the #metoo movement.
On November 25, the International Day against Violence against Women, she will present her book in the taz Talk and discuss how #meToo can continue.
