In October, 2017, the European Parliament (EP) adopted a resolution on combating sexual harassment and abuse in the EU. This document includes, among others, a statement that the EP “welcomes initiatives such as the #MeToo movement that aim to report cases of sexual harassment and violence against women“. The paper aims to consider the following questions: whether an institution like the EP is supposed to formally express support for a very young social movement without accountable leaders; whether there is a risk of unintended impacts if the different forms of discrimination and abuse against women, undoubtedly rooted in the same soil, are discussed in the same sentence; whether the principles of fair trial and the procedural rights of defendants/respondents should be mentioned in a document like this, at least for political reasons. The author claims that these questions may be crucial in the light of a major contemporary phenomenon, namely the erosion of the human rights consensus.
