#MeToo Movement

The #MeToo Movement is a social movement against sexual harassment and assault, originally founded by activist Tarana Burke in 2006. The movement gained widespread traction in late 2017 following allegations of sexual misconduct against several high-profile individuals in various industries. It encourages survivors of sexual violence to share their experiences and to foster awareness about the prevalence of such behavior in society. By using the phrase “#MeToo” on social media platforms, individuals express solidarity with victims and emphasize that they are not alone in their experiences. The movement seeks to challenge and change the societal norms that allow sexual harassment and violence to persist while advocating for justice and support for survivors.
