Time has named 'The Silence Breakers' - the women behind the #MeToo movement - as their Person of the Year for 2017. The women behind the #MeToo movement have been named Time Person of the Year. The #MeToo movement was founded by activist Tarana Burke on Twitter a decade ago to raise awareness about sexual violence. On November 24, Trump claimed that he was 'probably' going to be named Person of the Year for a second year in a row. Time revealed the results of their reader's poll on Monday, which was won by Crown Prince bin Salman in overwhelming fashion, as he commanded 24 per cent of the vote versus the six per cent that runner-up the #MeToo movement received in the poll.
