Several women have alleged that they were forced to enter into compromising positions before they could start work. This has raised concerns about the safety and welfare of female actors in the Malayalam film industry.
Let us tell you that the government had constituted the Justice Hema Committee in 2019. The committee studied the issues faced by women in the Malayalam film industry. This report has highlighted important details of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse of women.
Female artists facing harassment
Five years after it was submitted to the government, a copy of the report was given to the media under the RTI Act. The report said that female artists had to face harassment. This also includes incidents of drunken men knocking on the doors of female artists’ rooms in the film industry.
Women hesitate to complain to the police out of fear
It says that many women who are victims of sexual harassment hesitate to complain to the police due to fear. According to the report, those female artists who are ready to compromise are given code names and those who are not ready to compromise are not given work.
The report says- Offers of acting in films or any other work are made to women with the demand for sexual favours. As I have already mentioned, women are asked to compromise, under which they are asked to have sexual favours.
