#Metoo
from Guitar Emporium · host Richard
I wrote a tune called You about inclusiveness - being aware of other people regardless of who or what they are - I didn't know about the #MeToo movement . But it seems relevant to turn the tune in a re-mixed way to that title as it has a whole lot of significance.I used the tune earlier this month in a different form following another awful stabbing case - this time in Southampton.#MeToo is a social movement and awareness campaign against sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and rape culture, in which survivors (led by the voices of men and women, especially public figures) share their experiences of sexual abuse or sexual harassment.The phrase "Me Too" was initially used in this context on social media around 2006, on Myspace, by sexual assault survivor and activist Tarana Burke.The hashtag#MeToo was used starting in 2017 as a way to draw attention to the magnitude of the problem. "Me Too" is meant to empower those who have been sexually assaulted through empathy, solidarity and strength in numbers, by visibly demonstrating how many have experienced sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.
