A book on the MeToo Movement written by advocate K. Shantakumari was released in the city on Monday. Justice V. Ramasubramanian, who released the book, said that often secondary victimisation of victims who report such cases was happening when people try to take the side of the offender.

Citing two cases that came to him, he said that the law does not contemplate situations that come up but it trails behind crime and therefore laws need to be amended.

He said Ms. Shantakumari had covered all aspects of the movement, including its history and where it is headed.
