Hollywood establishes anti-abuse committee
The entertainment industry in the United States has set up a committee that will fight against sexual harassment in Hollywood.
Lawyer Anita Hill is head of The Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace. This professor gained prominence in the United States when she accused a candidate for the Supreme Court of sexual intimidation.
Since the stories about producer Harvey Weinstein in The New York Times last October, a wave of accusations of sexual abuse has started. Several big names from Hollywood have been accused of sexual harassment, assault and abuse, such as actor Kevin Spacey and comedian Louis C. K.
