I’ve had enough. This was the reaction of Carolin Solskär when the #metoo hashtag went viral in October 2017 and online conversations reminded her that for too long women had been victims of sexual harassment and violence. She decided to act, co-organizing protests in Stockholm that spread to 14 other Swedish cities. At the time she worked in the tech industry and wondered if she was qualified to lead a protest, but then she realized that in this field all women are experts. Anyone can become an activist and be part of creating a movement, she says.
