Men and women have been posting cases of sexual assault, harassment and abuse on social media, as Actress Alyssa Milano, took to Twitter, to share a post initiating the #Metoo movement to highlight sexual abuse and assault against women.
She wrote: ‘ if you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted, write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet’.

Lots of people, replied to this message. while some just wrote #metoo, others reacted by sharing their personal experiences.
Interestingly, it has been observed that men are also victims of assaults as the movement had lots of them sharing and describing their experiences.

And I was blamed for it.
I was told not to talk about it.
I was told that it wasn't that bad.
I was told to get over it.— Najwa Zebian (@najwazebian) October 16, 2017

I was sexually assaulted by a man @ a YMCA who pretended to work there. I told the police, went to court & he went to jail. #MeToo

#MeToo I was raped at age 9, but have been told by many it was only assault because I'm male.
