Taapsee Pannu has launched a sexual harassment helpline for women. You go girl!

Actress Taapsee Pannu, who is ready to pack a punch in her forthcoming flick ‘Naam Shabana’ as a spy, is taking good measures for women’s safety in real life too. Her role in ‘PINK’ was of a strong girl who fights and emerges a winner against an influential guy who sexually harassed her. It was much appreciated. Post the movie, the actress has been associated with strong female characters and her upcoming movie will also see her kick some ass, as she takes on the role of a spy on a mission.

So, the actress decided to launch a helpline for women who are subjected to sexual harassment, especially the working women in the fields of entertainment and media. Speaking about the same, she said, “It is a profound initiative for all working women, especially in the events, entertainment and media industry. It is not just a step towards making the working environment safe for women, but also in making the world a better place.”

Professional counsellors have been brought to provide assistance to the victims. Trained executives will be answering calls, when you call on the helpline number (01149694998) that will redirect them to a counsellor. This initiative has been taken up by Event and Entertainment Management Association.

Helpline curator Sabbas Joseph spoke with a leading tabloid, “We wish to create an environment where women can deliver to their full potential. Women in advertising, media, and entertainment are both role models and influencers. It is a positive step towards making lives of working women a little easier.”

You go girl!
