This is why actresses do not speak about sexual harrassment’ – Monalisa Chinda

Monalisa Chinda has shared her thought on sexual harassment in the movie
industry in an interview with The Other
News.

Monalisa who talked about sexual
harassment, fear of stigmatization and
the resultant effect on their careers,
said;

“It’s a bit uncomfortable for someone to
come out and say I was cornered to
sleep with a producer because of a
role,” she said. “They keep quiet about
it because of their careers. Apart from
that, the society stigmatizes these
women. So you just swallow your pride.
“When you are outside the shores of
Africa, women are heroes for coming
out to speak about sexual abuse, but
here.”

On domestic violence, she said:
“As much as I detest all forms of
violence against women and men,
women should quit provoking their man by beating punches and slaps. .

“I’m a domestic violence [enthusiast]. I
always research when I hear fresh
stories about domestic violence. Half
the time, it is the women. “God just
gave us this running Okra mouth.
Women, don’t fight with people who are stronger than you.”
