TIME100 Honorees Praise the #MeToo Movement_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Apr 25, 2018 6:40 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Apr 25, 2018 6:40 PM UTC [Mia Farrow](http://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/) spoke out about the [#MeToo movement](http://time.com/5189945/whats-the-difference-between-the-metoo-and-times-up-movements/) while attending the [TIME 100 gala](http://time.com/5248950/time-100-gala-best-moments/) on Tuesday, alongside her son, [2018 TIME 100 honoree, Ronan Farrow.](http://time.com/collection-post/5217592/ronan-farrow-jodi-kantor-megan-twohey/) Farrow has been vocal about stopping sexual misconduct, especially following her daughter Dylan Farrow’s allegations that [Woody Allen sexually assaulted her as a child](http://time.com/5106106/woody-allen-dylan-farrow-actors/). Now she’s talking about the way #MeToo changed our national discourse. “Well, there’s a lot to be optimistic about in terms of the #MeToo movement and the way men have now been forced to regard women and treat us differently,” Farrow said. “And I’ve spent my whole life, you know, confronting the issues that so many women are standing up for now and we need this to go around the world and also not just celebrities, but people in every…hotel workers and people who work in restaurants and all those people where it’s harder to come forward because you might lose your job. 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.” ## Transcript Watching everything that's happening with women. I think their voices standing up for themselves, all of the groundwork that was laid last year and into this year, it's just the world is changing, and it's changing for our daughters, and we're super excited about that, to see where all of this goes. Well, I think that this year has been very important, because it's the year where people are speaking up, and we're saying no more, we're saying time's up And we are pushing for everyone to feel safe and comfortable and that is really, really important. So, I would say we've come a long way but there's still a lot more to go but at least we can be hopeful that there are a lot of good people out there Out there that are supporting us and ready to help us fight for change. I mean, in six months we've seen a change in the national dialogue around sexual violence that we've never seen before. And so if we can have this level of conversation sustained for six months, I can only imagine what is going to happen moving forward. So I'm hopeful that people will join together and partner with us as we try to really do something to interrupt sexual violence. Well, there's a lot to be optimistic about in terms of the Me Too movement, and they way men have now been forced to regard women, and treat us differently. And, I've spent my whole life, confronting the issues that so many young women are standing up for now, and we need this to go around the world. And, also not just Just celebrities, but people in every, hotel workers, and people who work in restaurants and all those people where it's harder to come forward because you might lose your job. But I'm an optimist anyway. I feel things will get better globally.
