They knack us but we can’t complain because they won’t cast – Vicky Zugah exposes directors and producers

Renowned Ghanaian actress Vicky Zugah, celebrated for her numerous accolades, delves into the complex dynamics surrounding the reluctance of many sexual harassment victims within the movie industry to openly name and shame their perpetrators.

During an insightful interview on Joy FM, Zugah articulated that a pervasive fear of social repercussions often deters victims from coming forward with their experiences.

She elucidated that in a society where vocal assertiveness is often misconstrued as a lack of “wife material” qualities, individuals, particularly women, face the daunting prospect of being ostracized and stigmatized if they speak out against harassment.

Zugah further emphasized that the fear of societal backlash extends beyond mere professional ramifications, impacting personal aspirations such as marriage or political ambitions. The actress astutely noted that victims risk being marginalized and excluded from future opportunities within the industry if they dare to expose the misconduct they’ve endured.

Moreover, she shed light on the unfortunate reality that victims who do summon the courage to confront their abusers often encounter undue criticism and skepticism from the public, adding another layer of complexity to their plight.

In essence, Zugah aptly underscored the multifaceted challenges and societal pressures that compel many victims to suffer in silence, opting to bury their traumatic experiences rather than confront a system that often fails to provide adequate support and protection.
