Time's Up. These two words have reverberated across the globe since over 300 women in Hollywood joined forces to form a movement to combat systemic sexual harassment across all workplaces. 

The initiative— launched by the biggest names in the U.S. entertainment industry—has raised $21 million for its legal defence fund in the past month alone.
