KINALAMPAG ng Gabriela Women’s Party ang Sparkle GMA Artist Center para suspendehin ang aktor na si Archie Alemanya na inireklamo ng acts of lasciviousness ni Rita Daniela sa City Prosecutor’s Office ng Bacoor, Cavite.
“Sparkle GMA Artist Center should impose a preventive suspension against the accused actor involved in this case to immediately separate the alleged perpetrator from the victim, especially since they work in the same company,” ani Sarah Elago ng Gabriela.
“Nagiging talamak ang ganitong klaseng kaso sa entertainment industry kaya dapat magkaroon ng malinaw na protocol laban sa sexual harassment,” dagdag ni Elago.
Kasabay nito, nanawagan si Elago na lalo pang palakasin ang proteksyong ibinibigay sa mga babae sa entertainment industry.
“We stand with Rita Daniela and all victims of sexual harassment who bravely come forward to hold their perpetrators accountable. Her courage in filing a formal complaint sends a powerful message that sexual harassment has no place in the world of work, including the entertainment industry,” sabi niya.
“We encourage other victims to break their silence and speak up,” payo naman niya sa iba pang biktima ng pang-aabuso.
