72% of Women in Australian film and television have experienced workplace harassment or discrimination, study reveals
A study on sexual harassment in the Australian film and television industry has found 72% of Australians have experienced either harassment or discrimination in the workplace, which has had a negative effect on their career.
The study, conducted by Women In Film and Television (WITF) New South Wales, initially caused concerns when it was publicised with an email headed “Tell us who is Australia’s Harvey Weinstein”, something the organisation later apologised for.
The article states “… has found 72% of Australians have experienced either harassment or discrimination in the workplace.”
Given the study was conducted by WIFT does that 72% mean all people or just women?
It also happens to men! The problem was that if you speak up you were quickly removed. The same happens with all kind of discrimination. But who cares about double standards, we only highlight what’s cool right now.
I can’t wait until this old generation has died out.
