gender inequality in Hollywood when you
think of a CEO of a company or of world
political leaders do you think of a man
or of a woman many of us see these
positions as being held by men gender
inequality in our society is not
uncommon but we come across it every day
without realizing it
it is a visible fact in our society and
the same happens in Hollywood's industry

according to the magazine the Atlantic
of the top 250 films of 2017 88% had no
female directors 83% of no female
writers and 96% had no female
cinematographers just 23% of these films
had a girl or woman as a main character
but also there have been cases and
accusations of sexual abuse in Hollywood
reported against people related to the
medium of cinema accusations of sexual
assault in the industry go back to 1921
but the issue reached an extensive media
coverage after producer Harvey Weinstein
was accused of sexual abuse by more than
80 women sociological studies on sexual
harassment have shown that the worst
industries for harassment combined
several factors male domination in
positions of power work arrangements
that are relatively temporary and young
single women in more vulnerable and
low-paying occupations over the past
year more than 200 powerful people
celebrities politicians and others have
been the subject of sexual harassment or
assault allegations and then what
measures will have to be taken to change
this the only way it's going to change
is if we will see more women in this
industry famous actors should work
directly with female directors and more
women should be hired to write the
scripts normalizing the film industry
and the gender equality in Hollywood by
giving
more opportunities to the women in
filmmaking careers with this and more we
will hope then for an improvement in
female filmmakers behind the scenes
industries
