Just before the International Women's Month celebration conclude this year, Southeast Asian creators and talent behind Netflix's stories, by, for and about women, have come together in Jakarta, Indonesia to talk about their experiences and perspectives as women in the entertainment and filmmaking industry.

Themed 'Reflections of Me,' the event served as a platform where creators and talents talked about their shared experiences as women in the industry, and their journey in promoting inclusion and breaking stereotypes and biases.'At Netflix, we believe more people deserve to see their lives reflected on stage and on the biggest screens we can get in front of.

You know, studies show that when HODs are women, when the person commissioning a project is a woman – at least in India – the studies show that women even get more talking time in the trailers. And that's the impact of having women tell their own stories,' Chopra said.'I think we should always continue to check our own biases and those kinds of stereotypes in our own head, that would go a long way,' she added.
