Back in the United States, in California, nearly 150 women, including legislators and lobbyists, have come forward to denounce widespread and pervasive sexual harassment in California’s Capitol. In a letter, the women write, “As women leaders in politics, in a state that postures itself as a leader in justice and equality, you might assume our experience has been different. It has not. … Men have groped and touched us without our consent, made inappropriate comments about our bodies and our abilities. … They have leveraged their power and positions to treat us however they would like.”
