We often have a tendency to intimidate or talk against a woman;

We often have a tendency to intimidate or talk against a woman when she speaks out on sexual harassment as if she is the offender not the man,” Huma said.
“We need to change the environment where more women feel safer and more comfortable to talk about who is harassing them. It is our responsibility as a society,” she added.
I am a feminist;
While taking about feminism she said, “I am a feminist. When I say I am feminist, I mean an equal world. I don’t believe in an unequal world. An equal world can be created when men and women come together. “We cannot do this without the men. We need good, strong male role models as well…So that other men have role model to follow. It has to be done together.”
There were female actors, but there were few female technicians, women directors;
“The problem will go away when we talk about women working behind the scene. There were female actors, but there were few female technicians, women directors, editors, camera person. Today, I see a lot more women working behind the camera. It creates a far more safer environment.”
