Rose McGowan, who famously ignited the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and fired up the #MeToo movement, will receive the Inspiration Award at the GQ Men of The Year Awards 2018, in association with Hugo Boss.

As one of the first women to speak out against the disgraced movie producer, Rose McGowan became a catalyst for change in the entertainment industry and inspired others to talk about their experiences.

These sentiments were reflected in GQ's Editor, Dylan Jones’ statement about the award, where he said, “This award recognizes the sheer strength and bravery Rose McGowan has shown in coming forward and being one of the first to publicly accuse an industry figurehead of grossly abusing his position of power. Rose is the absolute embodiment of this award and it will be great to watch her receive the award next month.”

Now firmly placed as one of Hollywood’s leading activists, Rose McGowan has released a TV series entitled Citizen Rose, a documentary series that traces her own experiences of sexual assault and the industry at large.

Rose previously starred in the mega hit, Charmed, for five years after honing her craft in such films as the 1995 hit, The Doom Generation.

Speaking about the award, Rose said: "I’m proud to be honoured by GQ in receiving the Man of The Year Inspiration award. It’s a new dawn, a new day for all of us to celebrate positive societal change."

Well done, Rose McGowan, we couldn’t think of a more deserving winner as an inspiring catalyst for change.
