A year after it gave accused sexual assaulter Donald Trump the honor, TIME on Wednesday named “the Silence Breakers”—the women (and men) named and unnamed who exposed and helped bring accountability for the staggering pervasiveness of sexual misconduct by those in positions of power—as 2017 Person of the Year.

Editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said the movement was being honored “For giving voice to open secrets, for moving whisper networks onto social networks, for pushing us all to stop accepting the unacceptable.”

“This reckoning appears to have sprung up overnight,” the magazine writes. “But it has actually been simmering for years, decades, centuries.”

“These silence breakers have started a revolution of refusal, gathering strength by the day, and in the past two months alone, their collective anger has spurred immediate and shocking results: nearly every day, CEOs have been fired, moguls toppled, icons disgraced. In some cases, criminal charges have been brought,” it continues.

The hashtag #MeToo—coined years ago by social activist Tarana Burke and reignited this year by actor Alyssa Milano—as well as its international equivalents, “has provided an umbrella of solidarity for millions of people to come forward with their stories, is part of the picture, but not all of it.”
