Hema panel report yet to be made public
The Hindu
Report on harassment and gender inequality in the Malayalam film industry was submitted on Dec. 31, 2019
More than two years after the Hema commission report to address issues of sexual harassment and gender inequality in the Malayalam film industry was submitted, the State Government is yet to make public or take any action on the report.
The Commission, constituted in the aftermath of the actor assault case, had submitted the report to the Chief Minister on December 31, 2019. Members of the Women in Cinema Collective who are yet to see the contents of the report, question the lack of transparency regarding the report for which many women in the industry have given detailed testimonies of the harassment they experienced.
Filmmaker Anjali Menon, a member of the WCC, said that revealing the list of findings is important because any recommendation has to be seen in the context of these findings.
