London, Jan 8 (IBNS): English singer-songwriter Dua Lipa has shared solidarity with victims of sexual harassment by supporting #TimesUp campaign, which was promoted at the 75th Golden Globes Awards ceremony on Sunday.

The Hollywood stars even appeared in black attires at the show to protest against sexual harassment both inside and outside the entertainment industry.

Dua Lipa tweeted: "Standing in solidarity with women everywhere in every line of work. Mothers, sisters, daughters and friends that have been silenced by harassment, abuse and discrimination. #TimesUp http://timesupnow.com."

The red carpet of the event soon turned into a sea of black when women actors flaunted themselves in black attires.

Men actors too were dressed in black, sharing solidarity with the victims of the sexual harassment.

The protest has once again reminded the #MeToo campaign which was launched on social media in the wake of the reports of sexual harassment of actresses by powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

American actress Alyssa Milano, on Oct 15, wrote a post on Twitter and asked her followers to retweet it with a reply 'me too' if they were sexually harassed or assaulted , to imply the "magnitude of the problem".

The urge to retweet by Milano hds sparked the hashtag as several women started to write on social networking sites #MeToo and some of them even shared their own experiences.
