The social movement using the #MeToo hashtag was first launched on Twitter to draw attention to those involved in sexual misconduct and those who cover it up.
UN Women’s research found: • There were over 24 million impressions using the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter between October 2017 and December 2019. • Every region of the globe engaged in the movement (figure 2) and many developed regional or language specific hashtags (figure 3).
