Kerala High Court Urges Selection of Women-Friendly Chairperson for Film Policy Committee

The special bench at Kerala High Court has advised the state government to appoint a Chairperson for the Film Policy Drafting & Cinema Conclave Committee who inspires confidence among women, 

The issue was raised by Advocate Sandhya Raju about the selection of a person accused of gender bullying and corruption. 

The court emphasized the importance of the Chairperson’s integrity, especially after the Hema Committee report exposed exploitation in the Malayalam film industry. 

The state was asked to submit its plan for the conclave by the next hearing in March, which will discuss potential legislation for workplace protection, including for women in entertainment.
