Around the world, the words “Me Too” are appearing in high numbers on Twitter and Facebook. The simple message carries strong meaning. It all started on Sunday with a tweet from American actor Alyssa Milano. She wrote that women who have experienced sexual harassment or assault should leave the message “Me Too” on social media. Her aim was to show how often women have experienced sexual abuse. Milano wrote, “Suggestion by a friend: If all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.” Milano’s tweet came after the recent accusations against Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein. More than 20 women have said that he sexually abused them.
