TAIPEI, July 28 (Reuters) - Six years after the #MeToo movement rose to global prominence and toppled powerful perpetrators of sexual abuse, Taiwan is racing to reform laws and provide training and support as it reckons with its own wave of complaints.
The drama mirrored reality two months ago when an allegation of sexual abuse surfaced that was linked to Taiwan's ruling party.
Her criticism of the then-head of the Democratic Progressive Party's women's affairs department for dismissing her complaint went viral.

Hsieh said he hoped exposure to the movement at a young age would help his daughters develop a sense of equality.
