Actress Sri Reddy Strips Down to Protest Sexual Harassment in Indian Film Industry
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in India, actress Sri Reddy staged a high-profile #Me Too
protest on Saturday, marching to the offices of the Telugu Film Chamber
of Commerce in Hyderabad, where she took off most of her clothes to
denounce sexual harassment in the Indian film industry. She is one of
several Indian actresses who have come forward in recent weeks to say
they have been touched without their consent, sexually harassed and
forced to demean themselves to get work in the industry.
