a few months after the first allegations of sexual assault against disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein came to light. The allegations catalysed a global mobilisation of women and men who had previously stayed quiet about their experiences of sexual assault and harassment to come forward in their hundreds of thousands, encouraged by the revived #MeToo movement, founded by the activist Tarana Burke.
Over the following two-year period the movement galvanised. To mark the launch of Time's Up, A-listers including Emma Stone, Michelle Williams and Tracee Ellis Ross pledged their allegiance on the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet.
