And the 44-page report from the 2017 created organization is searing.
What is your take on that?
That people understand that accountability is the glue.

And that really is one of the first steps in creating more accountability.
Creating more action to actually change the behavior.
DEADLINE:What can be done?

HILL:This lack of trust, I think is borne out in a couple of ways.
And I understand that.
So, I think thats really where we are now.
Part of that comes from the increased awareness.
The entertainment industry is the face of the population, it is where people see or dont see themselves.
So thats a vital matter of representation, that is important.
That they are open to making change that will reduce discord and reduce problems of discrimination and harassment.
HILL:For example, we have introduced our own bystander intervention training.
That they are brought into the solution for eliminating the problem.
Thats the kind of inclusion that were hoping to build throughout.
Strengthen accountability, focus on prevention, and lead with consistency and integrity.
What response are you expecting from the powers-that-be?
HILL:We are working on trying to build systemic change.
We are working to address the problem with the system, with the structures that exist.
What we found is there are gaps in the system.
What we have also found is that we can fill those gaps in parts with training that we offer.
As I said, we do offer our own brand of a bystander training.
Up to now weve educated and trained 4000 workers on inclusion and bystander intervention strategies.
We expect that we will be doing more of that training.
Were going to double down on that training in the next few months.
DEADLINE:And on a more organizational or corporate level?
When they can come together, they can help us really nail down where the gaps are.
And therefore, we can provide greater awareness for example, through technology.
Or we can provide systems that include our participation in collective bargaining.
So, those are the things that I think have to happen.
We have seen changes occurring.
Its going to continue.
DEADLINE:Are the studios, agencies and streamers really committed to that work?
Weve seen it happen.
Weve seen them disrupt that behavior.
