Misogyny in music

Inquiry

In recent years, news reports and some studies have brought to the forefront the extent to which misogyny exists in the music industry. This inquiry aims to examine what misogynistic attitudes exist in the industry and why. It aims to uncover, in more detail, how these attitudes can filter through to society, impacting attitudes towards and treatment of women and girls, including at live music events. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.

The Committee issued a second call for evidence specifically on the use of NDAs in the music sector - read that call for evidence for more details.

This inquiry is part of the committee’s work into Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls.
