What started as a Tweet from Alyssa Milano has blossomed into a movement where thousands of women are sharing their stories of sexual assault and harassment.
The actress sent out a tweet on Sunday afternoon, asking any woman who had been sexually harassed or assaulted to reply “me too” to her message.
If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.

By Sunday night, #MeToo was trending on Twitter as women spoke out.

I have typed & deleted this more times than I can count. I learned about evil before any person should. I am heartbroken at how the cycle continues & to see how many others have suffered because of it. 💔

The first time I was sexually assaulted, I was 13 years old. The last time it happened was 1 month ago, at work. I'm 52 yrs old.

Milano’s tweet was sparked by the now , as well as those in the past against U.S. President Donald Trump.
Some people had a chilling message for those who had been blind to the issue:
Honestly, just assume every woman you know has been harassed or assaulted and I doubt you'll be wrong.

If you think you don't personally know a woman who has been raped, you're wrong.
