Me Too movement
The Me Too movement (also known as #MeToo) aims to encourage women to share their experiences of sexual assault and/or harassment with the hashtag #MeToo online. The phrase “me too” was first used in 2006 by Tarana Burke, a social activist, to illustrate how common sexual harassment and/or assault is for women, and the importance of knowing that they are not alone. In October 2017, this hashtag began to receive notice when Alyssa Milano, an actress tweeted, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write 'me too' as a reply to this tweet.” #MeToo is now considered a global movement.
