Misogyny in music: follow up

Inquiry

The Committee’s inquiry into misogyny in music looked at:

  • What types of support exists for women experiencing sexism or misogyny in the music industry? How can they report problems or abuse? 
  • How safe do women and girls feel at live music concerts and festivals? 
  • What expectations are there on women working in the music industry compared to men?  
  • What steps should the Government and other industry bodies take to tackle misogynistic and sexist attitudes towards women in music? 

 

The Committee published a set of recommendations in its report in January 2024 and the Government responded to these in April 2024. The Committee is now taking further evidence to assess what progress has been made since the publication of its report.
