Farhan Khan about sexual harassment victims

Chennai, November 09: Multi-talented Bollywood celebrity Farhan Akhtar has responded over the harassment of women in our country.

In an event, he said that there is no point in targeting only the film industry for perpetuating sexual harassment as it exists everywhere. However, he urged the victims to come out and talk about it openly.



He said that women in the film industry should speak up about harassment as the debate around gender-based discrimination has intensified all over the world. The Harvey Weinstein scandal in Hollywood has put the spotlight on the sexual harassment prevalent in the entertainment industry but in Bollywood not many people open up about casting couch or workplace harassment.

"It is true that such situations of molestation, sexual violence at workplace exist in all industries and it is not unique to one industry."

Farhan's MARD started in 2013 and continues to create awareness among youth against violence and discrimination against women.
