Swara Bhasker on raising awareness of sexual harassment through her work

Swara Bhasker has spoken out about sexual harassment in a work environment, saying it has become an epidemic. As someone who supports the #MeToo movement, Bhasker is looking to bring more awareness through her films.

Reported on Mumbai Mirror, Bhasker has recently joined the Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) committee alongside Raveena Tandon, Renuka Shahane and others to find ways to tackle sexual harassment in the industry.

Talking about her role, Bhasker says, “I am part of a sub-committee which is formed by CINTAA which will conduct workshop regarding awareness against sexual harassment at the workplace for its members. We have total 24 unions in our industry and it has more than 5 lakh members in it so we will try to work together on this front with these unions.”

Further adding, “When you hear about #MeToo stories then, you will realise that cases of sexual harassment at workplace are like an epidemic. It is like a disease so, awareness regarding that is really important so through this sub-committee, we will generate awareness among our members.”

The ‘Veere Di Wedding’ (2018) actress will be featuring in two web series, which she is working on followed by another at the end of the year. “One of them is titled ‘It’s Not That Simple season 2’… apart from that, I am doing an interesting series called ‘Rasbhari'”,…”After that, I am starting another very interesting series at the end of this year in which I am playing a police officer for which I have to speak in Marathi, so that’s a challenge because I have been living in Mumbai from many years but its first time that I will be speaking Marathi for my project,” revealed Bhasker.
