Gender-based violence (GBV)
About me too. International

me too. International is a convener, thought leader, and organizer in the global movement to end sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), grounded in Black feminist principles and survivor-led healing and action. Because of the viral #MeToo hashtag, a vital conversation about sexual violence has been thrust into global dialogue. What started as local grassroots work has expanded to reach a global community of survivors from all walks of life and helped to de-stigmatize the act of surviving by highlighting the breadth and impact of a sexual violence worldwide. We strive for the realization of a more inclusive and safer world where SGBV is not just minimized, but entirely eradicated.
