In a first for the Australian screen and games industries, Women in Film & Television (WIFT) Australia will be running pilot workshops to teach participants how to recognise abuse and harmful behaviours, and how to have the confidence to speak out and offer assistance.
‘I think the screen industry really needs this, and it has to be specific to the kinds of workplaces we have, with so many freelancers and the lack of the usual HR engines to deal with issues and complaints,’ says WIFT Australia Board Member Katrina Irawati Graham, on the phone to Screenhub from her hometown, Brisbane.
