At times the world can feel like a pretty big (disconnected) place. But if anything has brought women across the planet together over the past seven months, it’s the #MeToo movement.

From the hashtag to the plethora of powerful stories, the movement has been instrumental in changing the conversation around sexual misconduct in every industry, and in every country.

But in case you had any reservations as to how influential the sharing of people’s personal stories has been, Google has created an interactive visualisation tool, called Me Too Rising, that basically maps the movement.

Created in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the tool shows you how the movement has progressed since 1 October 2017, after the explosive sexual harassment story involving Harvey Weinstein was broken by Pulitzer-winning journalists, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, at The New York Times.

From highlighting the current trending cities discussing #MeToo to people simply searching for stories around the movement, the spinning globe lights up to show the incredible connectivity between women.

Why Me Too Rising is a great Google tool for women everywhere
