Earlier this week, Reese delivered an impassioned call to action during her acceptance speech at the WSJ. Magazine 2017 Innovator Awards.
While picking up the award for Entertainment Innovator of the Year Award the actress discussed the sexual harassment issue that has recently come to light in the entertainment industry in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
She stated: 'We’ve been dealing with some really ugly truth of sexism and sexual harassment, and it has been rampant for far longer than I have been an actress, and it’s brought back a lot of painful memories for people.
'It’s been a real time of reckoning for us and there is a definitely a growing realisation that we need to take the time to really examine the biases that exist in our industry and make much needed change because this is not an issue about actors and actresses, this is a bigger issue about power.

She continued: 'I think we have to turn a critical eye about female leadership in Hollywood and whether that’s encouraged or even allowed because you cant have accountability or awareness of different perspectives if women are not at the decision making table.'
Reese launched her own production company Hello Sunshine which produced Emmy-winning HBO series Big Little Lies and acclaimed movies Wild and Gone Girl.
'I wanted to be in more projects where I wasn’t just playing the wife or the girlfriend of some famous dude,' she shared.

'I know that movies are very powerful. I witnessed that first hand with women who I’m so humbled by, they come up to me on the street and say I went to law school because of Legally Blonde. I mean really, I’m not kidding.'
The mother-of-three said she wants to portray more relatable female characters and expand the scope of roles available to women.
'I don’t really believe that we’ve been seeing the full spectrum of the female experience and that is simply because women’s stories are not prioritised,' she said.
'I also just think we need to think about women differently because women are the largest captured consumer audience in the world.'
