The recently released Justice Hema Committee report exposes rampant harassment, exploitation, and mistreatment of women in the Malayalam cinema industry.

The panel's findings highlight a 'criminal gang' and 'power nexus' that manipulate and control the industry, punishing women who refuse to comply with their demands.

Commissioned by the Kerala government after the 2017 actress assault case involving actor Dileep, the report provides a damning look at the pervasive issue of sexual harassment and the culture of silence maintained by fear of severe repercussions.
