Ruth Bader Ginsburg has spoken out in support of the Me Too movement, saying it is 'about time' people called out sexual harassment.

The 84-year-old Supreme Court Justice told an audience at the Sundance Film Festival that for a long time women were silent on the issue, 'thinking there was nothing you could do about it.'

But, she added: 'Now the law is on the side of women or men who encounter harassment and that's a good thing.'

Ginsburg was also asked by NPR's Nina Totenberg whether she had ever been sexually harassed and what she did about it.

'The answer is yes,' Ginsburg replied. 'Every woman of my vintage knows what sexual harassment is, although we didn't have a name for it.

'The attitude to sexual harassment was simply: Get past it, boys will be boys.'
