#GMMTV
Joint Statement on the Strong Condemnation of Golf Sakon Wongsinwiset’s Sexual Harassment Remarks and the Demand for GMMTV to Take Strict Actions
We, not only MuvMuv but all supporters who condemn gender-based violence and defend women’s workplace safety, express utmost shock and strong indignation over director Golf Sakon Wongsinwiset’s recent public sexual harassment remarks targeting GMMTV actresses MilkLove on social media, as well as his dismissive attempt to trivialize them as a “careless joke.” We hereby solemnly declare the following:
1.Resolute Condemnation of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is never a “joke” but a severe violation of personal dignity and rights. A “joke” is no excuse, and “carelessness” is not a shield. Golf Sakon Wongsinwiset’ remarks constitute an offense to the actresses and public sentiment, and his refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing further exacerbates the severity. The core issue is not “posting such remarks in an inappropriate context” but the fact that such remarks should never exist. We demand that he genuinely recognize his wrongdoing and publicly issue a formal apology.
2.Urging GMMTV to Thoroughly Investigate the Incident and take concrete actions
We demand that GMMTV:
(1) Permanently terminate all collaborations with Golf Sakon Wongsinwiset to demonstrate a clear stance against sexual harassment;
(2) Establish a safe workplace environment for female employees and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all women within the company.
3.Our concerns extend beyond individuals to the entire industry
We are deeply troubled by the physical and mental safety and working conditions of all female artists and staff members in the industry, including not only MilkLove but others who may have faced or are currently enduring similar harassment.
If we remain silent now, perpetrators will believe such actions come without consequences and may escalate their behavior. No one should be forced to endure such violations. We demand the protection of their dignity and safety.
We firmly believe that only by holding individuals strictly accountable and ensuring consequences for those who dismiss sexual harassment as “jokes” can we truly eradicate gender-based violence. We expect GMMTV to respond to public demands with concrete actions. Simultaneously, we call on all parties to continue to pay close attention to the development of this matter and jointly defend workplace equality and safety for women.
