The #MeToo movement, which gained international prominence in 2017, has played a pivotal role in increasing awareness of sexual harassment and assault, while empowering survivors to share their experiences through digital platforms. This study examines the varying impacts of the movement across different cultural and institutional contexts, specifically focusing on the USA, Sweden, France, South Korea, and India, over the period from 2017 to 2024. Employing a comparative case study approach, this research integrates quantitative data on reported incidents of harassment and online activism with a secondary analysis of existing scholarly literature, media reports, and governmental documents. This method allows for an in-depth exploration of how social and institutional responses to the movement differ across these regions, shaped by unique cultural and legal frameworks. The findings underscore the importance of context-specific approaches to addressing gender-based violence, illustrating how digital movements like #MeToo can drive social change within diverse societal landscapes. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, activists, and scholars seeking to understand the dynamics of global social movements and their influence on both societal norms and institutional practices
