September 30, (THEWILL) – Veteran actress Joke Silva has called for the eradication of all forms of sexual harassment against women in the film industry and negative stereotypes.
Silva who is the President of the Forum of Women in Film and TV, Nigeria, said “The importance of women in the film industry is paramount to shaping our nation, so we need a safe and conducive environment to thrive.
All forms of sexual harassment in the film industry must be eradicated as it kills the country in so many ways that you cannot imagine.
“It is also essential that we eliminate all forms of negative stereotypes in films where we paint some things in a certain way while, in reality, it truly isn’t like that. We also need more women in the government to make policies and strengthen our stance in the country,” she added.
