Women and non-binary people make up 41% of board members across LIVE member orgs…
But only 27% of CEOs.

Representation matters, especially at the top.

[Women in CTRL @womeninctrl]

0% of Chairs or CEOs across the UK live sector are women from a global majority background.

This report sets a baseline for accountability. Representation matters, especially at the top.

[Women in CTRL @womeninctrl]

4 out of 16 organisations have already reached 50/50 gender representation on their boards.

AFEM, MVT, MMF & FAC have strong gender balance on boards, but across the board, global majority representation remains low.

It's incredibly disheartening to hear the government deny the reality of the endemic misogyny and discrimination that women face in the music industry. 
It further reinforces the invisibility of women in the industry, and sends a clear message that nothing will change for women.

There’s much that can be done.  

Change always starts with greater awareness of the issue. We would encourage anyone wanting to make a difference to read the full report.

🧵 The latest report of the Musicians’ Census in partnership with @wearethemu & supported by @womeninctrl find’s gender inequity is still an issue in the music industry, female musicians facing higher levels of discrimination, sexual harassment and barriers to career progression.

[Women in CTRL @womeninctrl]

Women's visibility in music decreases with age, challenging career longevity.    
Structural barriers like primary caring responsibilities and inadequate childcare access further impede their careers.
