But I’m an optimist anyway. I feel things will get better globally.” Farrow was just one of numerous women, ranging from [Tarana Burke](http://time.com/5253570/tarana-burke-metoo-time-100/), the founder of the #MeToo movement and entertainer Jennifer Lopez who [spoke out about stopping sexual misconduct at the gala.](http://time.com/5253440/time-100-women-metoo-gala/) “Watching everything that’s happening with women, finding their voices, standing up for themselves, all of the groundwork that was laid last year and into this year … the world is changing,” Lopez said. “And it’s changing for our daughters and we are super excited about that.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5254516/mia-farrow-on-me-too/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5254516/mia-farrow-on-me-too/"},"headline":"Mia Farrow Says She's Spent Her Whole Life Confronting the Issues #MeToo Is Fighting Against","datePublished":"2018-04-25T18:40:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:26.315Z","description":"Mia Farrow spoke out about the #MeToo movement while attending the TIME 100 gala on Tuesday, alongside her son, 2018 TIME 100 honoree, Ronan Farrow....","url":"https://time.com/5254516/mia-farrow-on-me-too/","keywords":["Newsfeed","GALA","T1002018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e7213ade79d31da/69892ea9db298736c225f7c1/mia-farrow-on-me-too-movement-time-100.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e7213ade79d31da/69892ea9db298736c225f7c1/mia-farrow-on-me-too-movement-time-100.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Time 100 Gala","caption":"2018 Time 100 Gala","creditText":"Taylor Hill—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5254516/mia-farrow-on-me-too/","name":"Mia Farrow Says She's Spent Her Whole Life Confronting the Issues #MeToo Is Fighting Against"}}]}] ```
