During a period where the spotlight is on the Malayalam film industry due to various sexual harassment allegations and the release of the Hema Committee report exposing harassment and abuse, the recent joint resignation of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA)'s executive committee, led by veteran actor Mohanlal, may seem ill-timed. What will happen to the unresolved harassment claims brought forth by multiple women, some as recent as last week? The Hema Committee report, which took over five years to be made public, has been praised for shedding light on the prevalent gender exploitation in the industry, inspiring women across the country to share their own experiences. The resignation of the committee responsible for addressing these issues and ensuring a safe work environment for women is a significant setback to the movement gaining momentum. While the AMMA's statement cites allegations against some members as the reason for disbanding the committee, questions remain about accountability towards the victims who bravely spoke out. The 16-member AMMA committee, including four women, plans to form a new committee within two months to rebuild and strengthen the organization. However, there is uncertainty about dealing with new cases that may arise in the meantime and the outcome of ongoing investigations.Investigation into the issue has been ongoing for two months, a significant period in a woman's quest for justice. In the meantime, several Malayalam actors have shown support for their female colleagues, advocating for important reforms and a safer working environment for all. The outcome of the Hema Committee report and how industry leaders and stakeholders address the issue will have a significant impact on similar movements in other parts of the country. Discussions revolving around improving inclusivity in film industry organizations by ensuring women have greater representation in leadership positions are crucial. As Malayalam actor Shammi Thilakan emphasized, "The time is now... It is important for this industry to be handed over to the next generation in a positive state, rather than a deteriorated one."
