Oxfam MAMI Brunch creates space for women in the film industry to talk about gender equality in cinema

For the third year running, Oxfam India and JIO MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star 2018 co-hosted the 'Women in Film' Brunch to celebrate gender-equal cinema and women’s movement in the film industry to fight harassment at workplace. The Brunch was attended by leading male and female actors, directors, screenwriters and industry professionals including Kiran Rao, Yami Gautam, Gulshan Devaiah, Omung Kumar, Divya Dutta, Tanuja Chandra, Rima Das, Tisca Chopra, Mouni Roy, Tanishtha Chatterjee. Oxfam India CEO Amitabh Behar said, “Oxfam MAMI 'Women in Film' Brunch is not only a space to celebrate cinema that promotes gender equality but also to honour brave women fighting sexism and violence in everyday life. Women in the film industry are vociferously demanding equality in the workplace and this is happening at a time when young girls across India are challenging the age-old accepted norms of patriarchy.
