Hollywood Commission to take over WIF Transfers Entertainment Industry Helpline

Women In Film is handing over the operation of its Entertainment Industry Helpline to the Hollywood Commission, which is expanding its resources to combat workplace abuse. The helpline, established in 2017 in response to the #MeToo movement, offers legal and counseling support to individuals facing harassment, abuse, or discrimination in the entertainment industry. Recently, WIF has extended its services to help those affected by strikes in the industry. The decision to transfer the helpline to the Hollywood Commission comes as the organization launches MyConnext, an online resource to assist entertainment workers in reporting harassment. Malia Arrington, the executive director of the Hollywood Commission, emphasized the significance of the helpline in supporting vulnerable industry workers. The move reflects a broader commitment within the industry to address workplace abuse effectively.
