Legacy Project: #MeToo
KoreanAmericanStory.org is honored to be launching Legacy Project: #MeToo, featuring the powerful stories of Korean American survivors of sexual assault. This project seeks to empower and validate the experiences of Korean American survivors, and spark much-needed dialogue about sexual violence and harassment, as well as complex cultural stigmas that make breaking silence so difficult.
As the AAPI community has experienced an uptick in anti-Asian violence against women, from the Atlanta spa shootings in 2021 to the recent murder of Christina Yuna Lee, the publication of this series feels particularly poignant and timely. Thank you to all of the women who participated in this series for their bravery and strength, and to Asian Women’s Giving Circle for funding this critical project.
