Me Too

Tarana Burke created the #MeToo hashtag, which became a recognized phenomenon that trended on social media after Allysa Milano posted “If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem” on Twitter, October 15, 2017, which expressed the personal feelings after sexual trauma, rape and sexual harassment of the survivor.

The movement empowered victims of assault and harassment to speak out in record numbers and as a result, numerous powerful men were publicly named and shamed and some were removed from their positions of power.  #MeToo and Times up activists brought Violence against women and the Human Rights and workplace violations to the forefront of the Women’s March.
