While Hollywood men have been put on notice, the music industry has until now been flying under the radar.
Artists at this year's Grammy Awards, which will be taking place on Sunday in the US, will wear a white rose in solidarity with the Time's Up campaign supporting survivors of sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood.
It's the first move of its kind in the music industry and was the brainchild of senior record executives Meg Harkins and Karen Rait, .
In the lead-up to the Grammys, Harkins (Roc Nation senior VP) and Rait (rhythmic promotion at Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records) both noticed there was no plan in place for 'music's biggest night of year' - so they decided to do something.
Over dinner, Harkins and Rait assembled a group of around a dozen women in the music industry, and started the 'Voice in Entertainment' group. They chose the white rose as a symbol because "it is a practical accessory with a symbolic colour".
The restrained white will make a dramatic contrast on the red carpet in an award ceremony famous for risque and outlandish costumes.
"The suffragettes wore white during their protests and, more recently, Hillary Clinton wore white at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration," Harkins explained.
Harkins said the idea "grew like wildfire" as the newly formed Voices in Entertainment group began reaching out to their contacts.
Big-name acts such as Halsey, Rapsody, Kelly Clarkson, Cyndi Lauper, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Tom Morello and many more have reportedly signed up to be a part of the show of support.
"It is an important conversation politically in our country and it's also a conversation we need to have internally with our artists and our companies," Harkins told . "We need to say if anyone is feeling like they're being discriminated against and they don't feel safe in their workplace, they have people who will support them."
Rait says celebrity music artists have a lot of impact.
"It's only fitting that that music's biggest night show the support for equality and safety in the workplace and that people need to be cognisant of their fellow employees."
Singer Lily Allen about harassment in the industry saying the nature of the business, with artists signed up to multi-album deals spanning several years, made it difficult for singers to speak out.
