TODAY'S ACTIVISM for WOMEN'S RIGHTS
The MeToo movement
"Yet it doesn't have a leader, or a single, unifying tenet. The hashtag #MeToo (swiftly adapted into #BalanceTonPorc, #YoTambien, #Ana_kaman and many others), which to date has provided an umbrella of solidarity for millions of people to come forward with their stories, is part of the picture, but not all of it." http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-silence-breakers/
