Misogyny in music: Is the music industry changing for women?
The Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) will hear from women working across the music industry during its follow-up evidence session in Parliament on Tuesday, 28 January, one year on from the publication of its report into Misogyny in music.
Meeting details
The evidence session will explore whether anything has changed in the sector's treatment of women over the last 12 months, following the committee's inquiry and examine what further challenges remain.
WEC’s report warned women pursuing careers in music face “endemic” misogyny and discrimination in a sector dominated by self-employment and gendered power imbalances, recommending wide-ranging improved protections and reporting mechanisms.
Discussion is expected to touch upon female artists’ representation and safety, non-disclosure agreements, expectations on women and intersectional issues, the work of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA), maternity and the music industry and support for women.
