The Legacy of the Me Too Movement: Reflections on Five Years

The Me Too movement, which started with the Harvey Weinstein scandal in 2017, brought necessary attention to sexual harassment and assault. It sparked conversations about power dynamics and accountability in workplaces and institutions.

While Me Too has had a significant impact in raising awareness and encouraging survivors to speak out, it also highlighted the need for a balanced approach to addressing these issues.
