“Women’s voices are being lost from the film and TV industries.”
Vicki Leslie states that:
The Raising Films report [included] a number of recommendations for changes to improve things. These included enabling financial assistance for child or elder care and encouraging an industry-wide adoption of flexible working and access to care. The report also recommended formalising a way to combat discrimination and normalising conversations around caring commitments with employers.
These are not small asks. But if people at all levels of the system take these issues seriously then I believe cultural change is possible.
