A new study focused on women in music revealed that a staggering 61% of women have experienced sexual harassment.
One area identified as stagnant? Sexualization, objectification and sexual harassment in work environments. The study reveals that “nearly 40% of women creators agreed that women consciously decide to make music at home, rather than in a studio, to avoid potential gender-based harassment,” and that a staggering 61% of women have experienced sexual harassment. Respondents also reported that appearance and age are still major obstacles for women creators.
Positively, the study found gains in areas like visibility and diversity of women in the music industry, with 40% finding improvements in visibility and 36% in diversity. 27% found improvements in the inclusion of women in technical areas, like production, engineering and other male-dominated creative spaces. One creator from the U.K.
Though the results are slightly lower on the female creator side for these issues, still, over half of women music makers also feel imposter syndrome and feelings of inadequacy. These feelings are most prominent in women who are between the third and 20th years of their careers, with younger or older women reporting higher levels of self-assuredness.
