Group’s banner counters sexism
Women’s advocacy group UltraViolet continued its battle against sexism Tuesday, flying a banner over L.A. that read “Hollywood: Stop Enabling Abuse.”
The move came just five days after the organization demanded that the Weinstein Co. fire its co-founder Harvey Weinstein, which the company did on Sunday.
UltraViolet released a statement Tuesday regarding the banner’s message.
“If we are going to tackle rape culture in this country, we need to address the entertainment industry and its willingness to cover up decades worth of sexual abuse on Harvey Weinstein’s account,” said UltraViolet cofounder Nita Chaudhary in the statement.
