SAG-AFTRA Recognizes #MeToo At Power Women Summit

In momentum recognition of the #MeToo movement's anniversary and the momentum it has created in discussing workplace harassment and gender equality in Hollywood, The Wrap hosted the Power Women Summit, a two-day event on Nov. 1 and 2 attended by over 1,500 women in media and entertainment, including SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris.

The summit’s theme was “The Road to 50/50 by 2020.” Over 25 survivors were in attendance, and speakers included movement founder Tarana Burke; Brandeis University Professor of Law, Public Policy and Women’s Studies Anita Hill; and Transparent creator and showrunner Jill Soloway. Actor David Oyelowo also attended the summit and spoke about men’s involvement in gender equality during a special lunchtime conversation. Several female-led businesses and women artists were showcased throughout the summit’s exhibition hall. The event trended on Twitter for Los Angeles under the hashtag #PowerWomenSummit.
