The island has seen a wave of sexual harassment allegations against high-profile men.
A political staffer's request for help in the Taiwanese show Wave Makers has inspired women in real life to speak outTaiwan is being rocked by a wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations - sparked by a Netflix show which many say has ignited a local MeToo movement.The allegations at first centred on politics and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party - where several senior officials have resigned.
When Ms Tseng, as she wishes to be known, first sought redress last year, she said she was stone-walled and rebuffed. "Let's not just let this go," Chen Chiemn-jou wrote before describing her experience of being sexually harassed at a work event. The opposition KMT party has also been hit with allegations. Last week a journalist said KMT lawmaker Fu Kun-chi had forcibly kissed her at a press event in 2014, allegations denied by Fu. He reiterated his public denial to the BBC, saying he had never engaged in any sexual harassment towards women or subordinates.
The MeToo moment has come at a critical period in Taiwanese politics. Like on the TV show, the island is gearing up for a presidential election next January.
