1.13: Sexism and sexual harassment in the music industry

A recent MU survey revealed that 48% of musicians have been sexually harassed at work. Naomi Pohl, Deputy General Secretary of the Musicians'  Union, talks to Katie about the problems of discrimination and harassment musicians can face and how the Union has created their online Safe Space facility to help victims report incidents in confidence and receive the support they need. Anyone who believes they have been the victim of inappropriate sexual or discriminatory conduct can contact Safe Space via the Musicians' Union website: https://www.musiciansunion.org.uk/safespace or by emailing safespace@theMU.org If you enjoy this conversation, please subscribe, check out our other great episodes, and even better leave us a review.
