The Jaguar Foundation commissioned and released the report “Progressing Gender Representation In UK Dance Music”.
This project is the first of its kind to focus on all three of these areas together: the UK music industry, dance music, and the gender representation of artists.
Two-thirds of female creators identified sexual harassment or objectification as a key challenge, making it by far the most widely-cited problem.
“The burden should not always be on those who identify in this way to explain their experience to others. Things like the use of correct personal pronouns, correct name, and understanding higher risk safety concerns in live spaces are everyone’s responsibility to understand and act upon.”
