Shortly after the allegations were made about Harvey Weinstein, the "#MeToo" hashatag went viral on social media. This gave people the chance to speak out about the sexual assault and harassment that they had experienced in the workplace.
In The Beginning
It has been said that the original purpose of this hashatag was, "to empower women through empathy, especially the experiences of young and vulnerable brown or black women", and the person behind this was, Tarana Burke. After this, Alyssa Milano offered her support for this phrase, with her encouraging people to use it if they had experienced sexual harassment and assault.
This was also seen as a way to find out how widespread this is in today's world. However, as more and more people from all over the world began to use this phrase, its meaning gradually changed.
A Watershed Moment
But with that aside, what is clear is that this hashtag has given so many people a voice, a vice that they clearly haven't had before. And when someone's being has been violated by another human being, this is exactly what they need.
Their sense of safety and security will have been shattered, and it is then going to be vital for them to be heard. This can then allow them to feel acknowledged and validated, and something can then be done about what has taken place.
Two Parts
Firstly, there can be what will need to take place in regards to the person or people who caused them harm, and, secondly, there can be the kind of mental and emotional support that someone will need. For example, if someone has been raped, they might need therapy.
And it might not matter if this took place a number of years ago, as their mind and body could still be in a traumatised state. If this is the case, it could be challenge for them to handle their day-to-day life.
