In 2017 Tarana Burke’s #MeToo movement broke into the mainstream and hasn’t stopped since. In response to this, the Musicians’ Union launched the Safe Space scheme for musicians to share instances of sexism, sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the music industry.

Chaired by Naomi Pohl, Deputy General Secretary at the Musicians’ Union, this panel will discuss the specific ways that sexual harassment impacts DJs and electronic music communities and reflect on how we can continue the work to challenge the culture of sexual harassment, sexism and empower musicians.

Find out more about the Musicians’ Union Safe Space scheme and our Music Sector Code of Practice.

The MU makes every effort to ensure that all events we organise are accessible to everyone who would like to attend. We want to provide equal access to our events for all our members. If you have any access requirements you would like us to be aware of, please contact rose.delcour.min@themu.org at least 1 week ahead of the event to discuss what you need.

Join one of our Equality Networks. Network members receive regular updates on our equalities work via newsletters, as well as the opportunity to contribute to MU consultation responses and take part in surveys.
