– or spread quickly and widely on the internet

the MeToo hashtag became the focus for a global movement

of women determined to expose the truth about abusive sexual behaviour

But the deeper reasons behind the problem,

in America and worldwide, have not disappeared.

the phrase itself was thought up years earlier by civil rights activist,  Tarana Burke.

Yes, Tarana worked with marginalised women in neglected American communities,

shocking numbers of whom were victims of sexual violence and abuse.

Here she is talking with the BBC World Service’s programme HARDtalk

about how the MeToo movement continues to

The beauty, I think and the magic of MeToo is

that it’s a unifier in that way, and it’s where survivors

find community and so …definitely the mainstream media

kept the focus on the actresses and Hollywood and that…

but at its core the women who came forward were

really no different than those girls who I served in

Tarana doesn’t call the girls and women who

Instead she prefers the term survivors - people who are able to carry on

with their life successfully, despite very unpleasant

The MeToo movement went viral when several famous movie actresses

came forward – offered to give information, about sexual harassment.

While these Hollywood actresses were famous celebrities, most survivors of sexual

violence are ordinary women, living ordinary lives.

That’s why Tarana calls the MeToo movement 'a unifier'

- something that unites and brings people together,

in this case women of different race and social background.

But while the media focused on particular people

- Weinstein and several actresses in the movie industry

- Tarana is clear that the problem is bigger than just individual cases.

Here she is explaining about the wider reasons behind the MeToo movement.

We can talk about Harvey Weinstein ad nauseam but we also have to talk about

what are the structures that were in place that allowed a Harvey Weinstein

If you’re going to talk about Harvey Weinstein’s being

successful, then we have to also talk about capitalism, right?

Because it’s the love of money and the desire for people to have money and

The bottom line is people value those things more than they value

the humanity of the women that he was destroying their lives.

It’s about power and it’s about privilege.

At the end of the day, these are the two things we have to talk about dismantling.

According to Tarana, the behaviour of abusers

like Weinstein was not challenged or questioned because

of their privilege - power and advantage held by

a small group of people, usually because of their high social position

So rather than focusing on individual cases, it’s

male-dominated social structures like privilege that need dismantling

– breaking up or being stopped from working by gradually reducing its power

Tarana knows the problem won’t disappear overnight.

But she believes the MeToo movement has opened up a space to talk about

sexual violence in a new way and set out a pathway forward.

I asked you what year the two-word expression ‘Me Too’

Today, we’ve been talking about the hashtag MeToo movement which

went viral in 2017 – meaning it spread quickly on the internet.

The name ‘MeToo’ was created by Tarana Burke,

an activist who works with sexual abuse survivors

- people who experience abuse but are able to carry on with their lives successfully.

In 2017 many of these survivors came forward – offered to give information
