From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chen Chien-Jou (Chinese: 陳汘瑈; pinyin: Chén Qiānróu; born 2001)[1] is a Taiwanese activist and whistleblower.[2] Best known for her work as a founding advocate of Taiwan's MeToo movement,[3] she is a former staff member of the Democratic Progressive Party.

#MeToo[edit]

On May 31, 2023, Chien-Jou released a post on Facebook accusing filmmaker Hsueh Chao-hui of sexually harassing her in 2018.[4] Her post, inspired by the plot of the Taiwanese political drama series Wave Makers,[5] sparked widespread discussion, in which Chao-hui publicly denied the accusation.[6] In the days following, several senior officials of the Democratic Progressive Party resigned.[7]

Chien-Jou is credited to have initiated the #MeToo movement in Taiwan, and was named the Financial Times' 25 most influential women of 2023.[8]
