Extending support to the movement to call out and report sexual harassment, the Producers Guild of India on Tuesday announced to set up a committee to help the victims of sexual abuse. In a statement, the Guild said, "Producers Guild of India extends its complete support to the movement to call out and report sexual harassment and abuse whenever and wherever it occurs in our industry.

We believe that there is an urgent need to set up a robust process to ensure the highest standards of safety for employees and crew members at the workplace - whether in offices or on sets of productions.

We are instituting a committee within the Guild to lead this effort, and we are determined to stay the course till workplaces in the industry are safe spaces for everyone."

The decision has come at a time when several cases of sexual harassment are being reported in the Indian film and television industry.
