The #MeToo Movement

The #MeToo Movement is a social movement that began in 2006 but gained widespread attention in 2017. It encourages individuals, particularly women, to speak out against sexual harassment and assault, sharing their experiences to highlight the prevalence of these issues. The hashtag "#MeToo" became a rallying cry on social media, empowering survivors to come forward and demanding accountability from perpetrators, often in powerful positions. The movement also aims to promote changes in societal attitudes, workplace policies, and legal frameworks to create a safer environment and foster equality across genders.
