Googlers from 50 of the search giant's offices worldwide, from Tokyo to San Francisco, left their desks to chant, hold up signs and listen to their co-workers share their personal experiences at a microphone set up in the courtyard. The walkout's organizers said more than 20,000 full-time workers and contractors participated in the Nov. 1 protest.

"I can't recall a walkout like this in the tech industry or any other," said Hannah Brenner, a professor at the California Western School of Law, who researches law and gender. "It seems unprecedented."
