WCC

Deedi Damodaran, a WCC member, told the BBC that the response has been “overwhelming”.

The report, the WCC says, has vindicated its stand.

“For years, we have been saying that there is a systemic problem in the industry. Sexual harassment is just one of them. This report proves it,” Beena Paul, an award-winning editor and one of the founding members of the WCC, told the BBC.

Members of the WCC say they have faced difficulty in getting work since they began demanding better working conditions on film sets.

In the report, retired Justice K Hema says the WCC told her that “women are being silenced as the prestige of the film industry needs to be upheld”.
