December 10, 2017 11:01

A national online forum to promote safer workplace and work towards ending sexual harassment in the Australian screen sector will be launched this week, the Women in Film & Television group has announced.

WIFT, which was recently forced to apologise for a survey on sexual harassment billed as looking for the Australia’s Harvey Weinstein, will be holding the Safer Workplace Strategies forum on Tuesday at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School in Sydney.

The free, half day event will also live satellite venues in Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Hobart as well as being streamed online.

Event sessions will examine sexual harassment and assault as well as broader bullying and intimidation within the context of the film and television industry.
