In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein revelations, the #MeToo hashtag spread around the world like wildfire: #quellavoltache (this time) in Italy, #EnaZeda in Tunisia and #AnaKaman in Egypt (me too)
On October 5, 2017, The New York Times published a bombshell investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against one of the giants of Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein, who had until then proven untouchable despite rumors of misconduct.
The article proved to be a watershed moment, triggering what rapidly became known as the #MeToo movement.
