World’s first MeToo official finds a tougher job than she expected
AMSTERDAM - Mariëtte Hamer thought she could achieve a lot with “a couple of interventions” when she started her role in the Netherlands as the world’s first government-appointed commissioner to tackle sexual violence and misconduct in the workplace.“I figured the big challenge would be to keep the public conversation about #MeToo going,” Ms Hamer, 64, said in her office in The Hague.
Cases of toxic behaviour involving high-profile men have been reported in the Netherlands’s art sector, in universities, politics and sports. That pushed the Dutch Cabinet to ask Ms Hamer, a former Labour party leader and chair of The Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands, a government advisory board, to take up the newly created position. She began in April and will serve for three years.
The scale of the problem was overwhelming. One in two Dutch women and one in five men encounter sexual transgressive behavior during their lifetime, according to a 2017 study by the Dutch branch of the Rutgers Center for Gender, Sexuality, Law and Policy.The Netherlands has strong gender equality laws but Ms Hamer says a lack of women at the highest levels of society, from politics to the corporate world helps explain why toxic behavior has become normalised.
