Three makeup artists begin hunger strike in Kochi alleging workplace harassment in Mollywood
Three makeup artists—Rohini, Elizabeth, and Angel—have begun a hunger strike in Kochi, accusing the Malayalam film industry of harassment and lack of opportunities. They allege they were expelled from their union for addressing power abuse and misconduct and demand FEFKA secretary B Unnikrishnan's resignation. The protest follows the reported expulsion of another makeup artist, Shivappriya Maneeshya, for cooperating with an abuse investigation. Support from Women in Cinema Collective and actors Rima Kallingal and Parvathy underscores the growing concern over workplace harassment and inequality.
