#MeToo Movement

The MeToo movement aimed to fight against sexual violence, creating pathways for healing, justice, action, and leadership. This movement was one of the first to help people dealing with sexual abuse, harassment, and rape. This was written to bring more awareness to this movement and to show how one hashtag can make a difference.

I started the writing process by writing down what I knew about the movement, some questions I still needed answers to, and completing research online. From there, I started categorizing the information into a logical order and started writing my first draft. I say the first draft because every writer knows the first draft is never your last draft.

Not only was this article created to spread awareness of the movement, but I also wanted to show that social media has a massive presence with such movements. The hashtag for this movement (#MeToo) went viral in 2017. In just 24 hours, the hashtag was used in over 12 million posts, and 4.7 million people posted using it. In addition to the research I found, I created a social media campaign for this movement; its details are in the article below.
