BPI response to WEC report on misogyny faced by women in the music industry

30 January 2024 - Press release

BPI CEO Dr Jo Twist OBE and BPI Chair YolanDa Brown OBE DL, said in a joint statement:

“Misogyny in music and across society is completely unacceptable.  This report contains some thoughtful recommendations and recognises that all parts of our industry have a shared responsibility to tackle this important issue head on.  We are already working with the wider music sector to build on the progress our label members are leading the way in making and in supporting the work of UK Music and the ongoing development of CIISA.  As the Committee acknowledges, record companies have increased representation of women in executive positions, and we’re seeing more women - as artists and in their teams - achieve success.”
