In honor of National coming Out Day, this month’s special topic is Homophobia & Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity Discrimination. Pursuing a career in the entertainment industry is often rewarding… and sometimes difficult. Especially when faced with discrimination, sexual harassment, pre-employment inquiries, predatory producers and issues of underemployment and underrepresentation.
What EVERY Member Should Know to Empower and Protect Yourself in the Workplace and Entertainment Industry:
• How to recognize and report workplace harassment and discrimination
• Guild resources available to empower and protect you
• Member-led diversity and equal employment opportunities committees
