#MeTinSofia

Main article: MeToo §:Greece

Bekatorou started the Hellenic #MeToo movement (#MeTinSofia) after revealing a sexual har*ment and abuse episode involving a senior Hellenic Sailing Federation (HSF) member in his hotel room, shortly after trials for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The interview triggered a wave of resignations in the HSF and echoed m*ively across Greece and eventually inspired Zeta Douka and a number of other actors to come forward with their own stories of sexual har*ment and abuse.
