 Abstract: 
				»This entry considers the global justice movement of #MeToo: the social media-based, hashtag-driven resistance and solidarity movement against sexual harassment and violence. Since the hashtag went viral overnight, in late 2017, it has changed the ways sexual harassment and violence are acknowledged, discussed, and addressed on a global scale.
 The expression “Me too” was coined already in 2006, by US activist and community organizer Tarana Burke. Through local grassroots work, her organization provides access to resources and safe spaces to support and empower black and brown girls and women who have experienced sexual harassment and violence. While Burke has endorsed the spirit of the global #MeToo movement, she cautions against reducing the fight against sexual harassment to a hashtag. Crucially, she also stresses that people do not experience sexual harassment and violence on an even footing«.
