Musicians Union Safe Space Scheme

US Share instances of sexism, sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the industry      09/10/21

The Musicians Union has launched a scheme to provide a safe space for musicians to share instances of sexism, sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the music industry. You can report something which has happened to you or something you may have witnessed: 

A recent MU survey revealed that 48% of musicians have been sexually harassed at work. Not only have almost half of musicians experienced harassment at work, but:

• 85% did not report it
• 58% have witnessed it
• 61% believe freelancers are at higher risk of being sexually harassed while working

We want to build up a picture of the problems that exist and seek long term solutions. We are campaigning for laws to protect musicians at work and are on a mission to create cultural change within the music industry.

Report your own experiences or cases that you have witnessed, using their anonymous online reporting tool. Alternatively, email safespace@theMU.org or contact your Regional Office for advice and assistance.
