Metoo was one of the most prominent feminist movements in the last years. After the producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women in the entertainment industry, the #metoo movement started.
Women felt encouraged to tell their stories about situations in which they have been sexually harassed, which is still a topic that most women don't feel confident talking about, especially not on social media. The wave of support from women for women over social media was so big though, that the #metoo went viral and started an important wave of female empowerment.
Social Media is an important tool in fighting for feminism, since it gives women a platform to connect and build a community. Social media might feel unpersonal at times, but social media can also be powerful through being unpersonal. The annonimity can encourage people to speak up and give people a voice that can lead to important movement as #metoo.
