Presented by the Musicians’ Union (MU) and Safe In Sound for Women’s Work 2022
The MU report ‘For The Love Of Music’ highlights that half of women MU members (48%) have experienced sexual harassment and 85% of those who experienced it, did not report it.
This online panel discussion will explore the extent of the issue of sexual harassment and violence against women in the music industry and what needs to happen to change it. The event will introduce key people, organisations and initiatives working in this area including the Musicians’ Union Safe Space Scheme and Safe In Sound.
We will delve into why women in music are especially vulnerable to this behaviour; why we have so few older women in the industry compared to men; the low-level behaviours that stoke more severe case and why so few women – especially in the music industry - do not report their experiences.
We welcome everyone to join and contribute to this important discussion with a particularly warm welcome to male allies.
