VIDEO: Lydia Forson speaks on sex-for-role claims in film industry

Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has shared her thoughts about sex for role claims in the movie industry.

The actress who has also been featured in several Nollywod films spoke to QedTV at the 18th edition of the Africa Movie Academy Award (AMAA) held in Lagos on Sunday.

Lydia who was nominated in the best-supporting actress category said that sex should not be used as a tool and those in powerful positions should not take advantage of others.

She wrote: “I think the issue of people doing sex for roles, sex for grades, sex for work, people taking advantage of their positions is not just limited to Ghana, it’s not just limited to Nigeria or the film industry. The problem is all around so if we want to combat we have to see that it is a problem in every aspect of our society. People in powerful positions should not take advantage of people in lower positions and should not use sex as a tool, it is wrong.”
