Over 300 writers, actresses and directors have come together to launch a campaign against sexual harassment in the film industry and other workplaces. The initiative is now called Time's Up and was announced in a full-page advert in New York times.
According to the BBC, the Hollywood Project is seen as a "unified call for change from women in entertainment for women everywhere". The move comes close on the heels of the #MeToo Campaign that gained momentum after Harvey Weinstein scandal rocked the showbiz. Several actors from across the globe came out in the open to confess that they had been exploited by men at some point of time in their lives. Here's how the Time's Up Campaign is picking up on the social media...
