 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% had 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 combine 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.
