Dozens of models are set to protest outside a Victoria's Secret store in New York City in a call for an end to the culture of misogyny, sexual harassment and abuse within the industry.
That is why Smith and Ritland have joined forces with other models across the country in the Model Alliance, a group advocating for the protection of rights of those within the industry. With the modeling industry being so competitive, Ritland said models are often forced into vulnerable positions, with those who do face harassment or abuse often fearing that it could cost them their careers if they try to speak out.
That's why, she said, models are calling for Victoria's Secret to sign on to the Model Alliance's RESPECT Program, which demands that employers do more to ensure the protection of workers from sexual assault, harassment and other abuse.

Hey, there's always work elsewhere. Make a choice.
