Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman are among stars backing a campaign in Hollywood against sexual harassment.
'Time's Up' aims to get new laws to tackle the problem in workplaces.
Kim Buckley has this report:
On its website, the campaign says: "The clock has run out on sexual assault, harassment and inequality in the workplace. It's time to do something about it."
It has published a letter of solidarity.
It follows the assault and harassment allegations which emerged in the industry recently.
There will also be a legal fund to help women protect themselves from sexual misconduct.
