(Vulture) On Friday, following the onslaught of women and men coming forward with sexual harassment and assault accusations in Hollywood, dozens of leading executives in entertainment came together with independent experts and advisors to form and fund a commission dedicated to fighting gender inequality.
The Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, or “the Commission,” stated mission is to create safer, more equitable and accountable workplaces in the entertainment industry. Kathleen Kennedy, who called for the industry commission back in October, said that it “will not seek just one solution, but a comprehensive strategy to address the complex and inter-related causes of the problems of parity and power.”
