Kannada Film Chamber Establishes PoSH Panel for Workplace Safety
The Kannada Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) has taken a significant step forward by forming a dedicated Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) panel. This move underscores the chamber’s commitment to creating a safer, more inclusive working environment within the Kannada film industry.
What is PoSH?
PoSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment, a set of guidelines introduced under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013. It mandates the establishment of Internal Complaint Committees (ICCs) to address grievances related to sexual misconduct and workplace harassment.
Why Now?
The Kannada film industry, like other entertainment sectors, has faced its share of allegations concerning workplace misconduct. By forming this panel, the KFCC aims to rebuild trust and ensure a safe environment for all professionals, including actors, technicians, and other crew members.
Objectives of the Panel
- Complaint Redressal: The panel will provide a platform for victims to report incidents in a confidential and fair manner.
- Awareness Programs: Workshops and seminars will be organized to educate stakeholders about workplace harassment and their rights.
- Accountability: Ensuring that those found guilty face appropriate consequences to deter future offenses.
Industry Reactions
The initiative has garnered widespread support from both male and female artists in the Kannada film fraternity. Many believe this will set a new standard for workplace ethics in the industry, promoting respect and equality.
What’s Next?
The KFCC plans to work with legal experts, social activists, and HR professionals to fine-tune the panel’s operations. This step is expected to inspire other regional film industries to follow suit.
