#MeToo Article Sandbox - READY FOR GRADING (NO FEEDBACK RECEIVED)

Sweden

The Me Too movement in Sweden resulted in the resolution of structural problems by the form of action plans and educational events organized around the country. Some results that came from this include the government increasing funding for women's shelters, training for professionals on issues about sexual violence, increased tendency to report domestic violence, and inclusion of sex education in schools.

On October 21, 2017, the Nordic Museum launched an online collection specifically for Me Too. This launch came a day before demonstrations took place around the country and was created to collect stories from Swedish citizens on their experiences. They could choose to publish their stories publicly and also to be submitted the the archives for further research. Images were also accepted but the museum chose to un-publish stories that appeared too personal. More than 170 stories were collected of which 66 were made public.
