Resumen

In Spain and France, a lot of attention was initially given to the #Me Too initiative that Alyssa Milano started in October 2017 and was later fuelled by Oprah Winfrey and her #Time’s Up claim in January 2018. However, in both Southern European countries the #MeToo was focused as a way for ordinary women to denounce the sexual abuse and harassment they had been suffering, sometimes for decades, in the past. Unlike Hollywood, the implication of well-known actors or powerful personalities was almost non-existent in Spain and France, but on the other hand the #MeToo movement did play a significant role when supporting women, individually or collectively, in their way to denounce, stop and overcome sexual abuse and harassment.
