Hyderabad: Movie Artistes’ Association (MAA) president Vishnu Manchu on Friday in a twitter post said that the artistes’ association is growing stronger and more accountable.
“I am proud to announce that MAA is constituting ‘WEGC’ – Women Empowerment & Grievance Cell; in line with Vishaka Guidelines. I am thankful to Ms. Sunita Krishnan, Padma Shri Awardee, for coming on board as the honorary advisor for this committee. This committee consists of four women and two men. Shortly, we will announce the committee members. MAA aims at welcoming more women members. WEGC is the first step towards protecting our family. More power to women!” his Twitter post reads.
It may be recalled that Vishnu promised to provide round-the-clock protection for women artistes in his manifesto before MAA elections.
He had said that for the first time in the MAA history, a high-power women grievance cell will be set up in order to render round-the-clock protection for single mothers or single women in the film industry.
