Mumbai: After the wakeup call for everymen in the whole country of the #Me-too movements.  Almost 80 percent of men have become overly cautious in their interactions with women colleagues.

It found that close to 80 percent of the respondents said fear of losing their career, family reputation, social stigma, and skepticism could be some of the reasons for the victims not reporting the cases earlier. 

The survey also revealed that 83 percent of the respondents believe that there are cases of false allegations in the wake of #MeToo. 

Also, around 70 percent of the respondents agreed that even after reporting the cases, victims still face threats.

The study further observed that close to 50 percent of the respondents disapproved of victims reporting the abuse later, while two in five males supported the victims saying they are right in reporting the abuse later.

About seven in every 10 respondents said that encouraging the affected women to be independent can possibly help them speak up about the abuse.

 "Although the majority of cases coming up in #MeToo are from the media-Bollywood industry, other industries are not considered safe by close to 77 percent of the respondents."

"In spite of respondents feeling that there are false allegations, four out of five are hopeful that this would bring about a good change."
