Milano and Michael Baker encouraged victims of sexual harassment to tweet about it and "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem".[8][9] This was met with success that included but was not limited to high-profile posts from several American celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow,[10] Ashley Judd,[11] Jennifer Lawrence,[12] and Uma Thurman.[13]

There's more, a lot more at Wikipedia but that sums it up pretty well.

Just saw your edit with this update. Thanks for posting, as I suspect you might be right re: confusion and the original post.
