We have a wide range of opinions here at the Herald, but we also like to hear what our readers think about current issues. The #metoo campaign gives women and men a chance to acknowledge their experience with sexual harassment, sexual assault or both.

By posting #metoo on any social media platform, one is essentially making it known they have gone through sexual harassment or sexual assault at some point in their lives. The results were staggering as hundreds of thousands of people have used the #metoo since the campaign began.

Proponents of #metoo argue campaigns like this help raise awareness on important issues like sexual assault.
