The "Me Too" movement is a social movement and awareness campaign against sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and rape culture, where survivors share their experiences. Tarana Burke, a social activist, first used the phrase "Me Too" in this context on social media around 2006. The movement aims to empower survivors through empathy, solidarity, and strength in numbers, demonstrating how many have experienced sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.
The movement gained widespread attention in 2017 following sexual abuse allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein. Actress Alyssa Milano encouraged women to use "Me Too" as a hashtag on social media to demonstrate the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault. Millions used the phrase and hashtag, and it spread to dozens of other languages. The movement has sparked debate about supporting survivors while ensuring due process for the accused. The movement has expanded to become an international movement for justice for marginalized people.
