Five years on, how #MeToo shook the world

It caught fire in the wake of an explosive New York Times investigation about film producer Harvey Weinstein who, had for years been raping and assaulting women, many in the industry, and getting away with it

By forcing the world to wake up to the daily sexual abuse suffered by women, the #MeToo movement became a social revolution of historic importance. Its legacy is still being determined.

It began with a tweet: on October 15, 2017, U.S. actor Alyssa Milano invited women to share their experiences of sexual harassment under the words “Me too”.

Within a year, the hashtag had been used more than 19 million times, according to Pew Research Center - pushing the issue of sexual assault to the top of the global agenda.
