Call for evidence: Misogyny in music

UK Parliament has opened a call for evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee. The committee is interested in responses to the following questions/topics:

• What correlation exists, if any, between misogynistic lyrics and violence against women and girls?
• 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?
