This session centres around findings from the recent House of Commons Committee report on Misogyny in Music, examining its relevance and implications for Scotland’s music industry. Despite the UK Government’s rejection of the report’s recommendations, we aim to explore how these findings resonate within the Scottish context and what steps can be taken to drive meaningful sector change.
Central themes include examining personal experiences and offering recommendations for combating gender discrimination in music. We will discuss the development opportunities and concerns for women and non-binary people, highlighting the intersectional challenges faced by those from diverse backgrounds.
We will delve into the importance of addressing gender discrimination and the interconnectedness of various forms of discrimination. How can we advocate for inclusive practices that dismantle these frameworks of oppression within the music industry?
