is reflecting on the strides made in Hollywood almost a decade after sending a tweet that came to define the Me Too movement.

In 2017, the industry underwent a massive reckoning after the now disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein prompting a flood of women to come forward with accusations against men in power. 

It was a watershed moment that put  center stage and one that was given a concrete name thanks in part to a simple tweet sent by Milano. 

'If you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write "me too" as a reply to this tweet,' she shared at the time. 

The power of Milano's platform has ceased to waver, with the star, 53, receiving an award recognizing her advocacy work last week.  

Milano was the recipient of the Survivor Justice Center's 2026 Voice for Justice Award at the organization's Bridge to Justice Gala, where she spoke exclusively with The Daily Mail about a post-MeToo Hollywood and the changes that have been made that now make her feel safe on set.

Milano, pictured at the gala, revealed a 'great relief' in knowing an intimacy coordinator is present on set to advocate for actors 

'There's been so many changes, not just in Me Too in particular, but also just sensitivity training, which is all about sexual harassment on the set,' she told The Daily Mail. 

'Obviously, we have intimacy coordinators now and I just think that there's an overall sense of what's right and wrong, and I love that,' she said. 

The gala was held at at the the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood and also honored California State Senator Susan Rubio, Judge Mark A. Juhas, and the firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

'It feels good,' she told The Daily Mail of receiving the award. 'But, I will say, that for me, it's just another opportunity to raise awareness for survivors, also to really give credit to the people who do this work every single day. 

'We're on the front lines, boots on the ground, making a difference in people's lives. So I'm thrilled to be here, but it's bigger than me.' 

Established in 1971, the Survivor Justice Center - formally the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice - has made it it's mission to secure 'justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and empowers them to create their own futures.' 

Their 2026 gala, held at the the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, recognized champions of justice for survivors of sexual assault, human trafficking, and domestic violence.
