WOMEN in Film & Television Ireland (WFT Ireland) has announced the launch of its commissioned report, 'Behind the Scenes: Exploring harmful behaviours in the Irish screen industries' written and researched by Dr Susan Liddy and Dr Fergal Rhatigan.
Funded by the Screen Ireland Stakeholder Fund, this research sheds light on the experiences of professionals within the Irish screen industries, highlighting the ongoing challenges and the urgency for change.
The report was officially launched on Monday last at the Light House Cinema, Market Square, Smithfield, Dublin 7 with a short presentation by Dr Liddy and Dr Rhatigan.

In discussing the importance of the report, co-author Chair of Women in Film and Television Ireland and President of Women in Film and Television International, Dr Liddy, commented:
"Behind the Scenes: Exploring harmful behaviours in the Irish screen industries" is the first report to focus exclusively on dignity at work in the Irish screen industries. It makes an important contribution to the significant work already undertaken by Screen Ireland and the Safe to Create partnership.
"My colleague, Dr Fergal Rhatigan, and I found evidence that behaviours including bullying, harassment, and sexual harassment continue in many workplaces. Nearly three quarters (72%) of all the respondents who participated in our survey had either experienced or witnessed some form of inappropriate or harmful behaviour: a clear signal that while much has been achieved, there is more to do."
