AMANPOUR: And finally tonight, after the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal finally came out in public, many of the women who bravely step forward to be heard are indeed seeing their voices echoed. Imagine a whole world shattering a culture where silence with a golden handshake. Today, women all over the world, in many different professions are rushing to a new community hashtag, "Me, too." It was started by Alyssa Milano. The actress is both a co-worker of Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman and a former colleague of Rose McGowan's, one of the producer's most vocal accusers. Milano wrote this on Twitter. "Suggested by a friend, if all the women who had been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote, "Me, too," as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem." And then the hashtag quickly caught on with many prominent women sharing it on social media. Spurring more and more and more women to sign on and to speak up. So could this be a game-changer? Could the suffering now fully exposed of so many women in this particular profession kick-start transparency, accountability? In all the other workplaces where this abuse is routine, only if it's a team effort, because behind every vocal woman, there must stand a good and vocal man to hear her, to support her, to defend her and to speak out with her. Only together can we even start to see the beginning of an end to this. And that is it for our program tonight.
