DocumentaryThe documentary by Vaishnavi Sundar has case studies from women across fields, from actors to sportspersons, journalists and workers in the unorganised sector.Sowmya RajendranSexual harassment at the workplace is not a new phenomenon. However, in the recent past, several discussions have been triggered around it, thanks to the worldwide #MeToo movement where women have been naming and shaming the perpetrators. In India, in 2017, law student Raya Sarkar put together a list of alleged sexual harassers in the Indian academia through survivors who approached her online. The List or LoSHA (List of Sexual Harassers in Academia) as it was called, led to several discussions and angry debates. While one side felt The List was irresponsible and insisted that due process must be followed, the other side argued that it wasn't a substitute for the law, but a warning for other women. It was pointed out that 'due process' had repeatedly failed to protect the survivors.
