Day 219: Today people across the world are sharing their experience of sexual harassment and abuse with the tag #metoo in support of those who have bravely shared their experiences of Harvey Weinstein. It also acts to highlight the magnitude of abuse women and vulnerable people receive from people with positions of power every day. I work on film sets a lot and have experienced countless sexism, and what I guess I should count as harassment. Things that you might not even notice or even try and ignore because they would get in the way of an otherwise good working relationship or the fun jokey vibes on set. From a lingering hand on the bum to the familiar hushed voices of a lewd joke being delivered to a crowd of men. The industry and the world has a long way to come, but creating a system which gives women the space and confidence to flag if they feel threatened is a step forward we need. Too many times I've had other girls on set confide that they are uncomfortable but we've not known the best way to forward, except ignoring and moving on. #metoo #harveyweinstein #thecastingcouch #sexism #harrasment
