Gender Equality Now


The umbrella organization Music Women* Germany invites you to the third national political conference on May 21, under the title Gender Equality Now - Wege zur geschlechtergerechten Musikbranche!

The conference offers a platform for open dialog and aims to discuss strategies to strengthen FLINTA* in the music industry. Music professionals, industry experts and political decision-makers are invited to discuss ways to achieve greater gender equality in the music industry.

After the 2024 conference, one thing is even clearer today: the debate around equality and diversity is more relevant than ever, while at the same time being marked by tensions and setbacks. This is precisely why spaces like this conference are so important.

Where do we stand, and what is needed to achieve real structural change?

Following a welcome address by Katja Lucker (Initiative Musik), the program will feature panels, keynotes, workshops, and networking formats.

The following topics will be at the center of the discussion:

– The current state of gender equality: between progress and backlash

– Pathways to decision-making positions and perspectives from practice

– Visibility, income, and structural inequalities

– Networks, gatekeeping, and access to resources

– Care work and work-life balance within the industry
