A recent government report highlights the troubling misuse of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in the music industry, urging for their immediate ban to combat misogyny. The report, 'Misogyny in Music: On Repeat', reveals persistent issues of harassment, discrimination, and a cultural environment that predominantly favors men. Despite previous recommendations, little has changed, as evidenced by the experiences shared by artists Celeste and Lucy Cox. Many women, especially marginalized groups, hesitate to report mistreatment due to fear of retaliation, reflecting deep-rooted issues in the industry that require urgent reform.
The misuse of non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements in the music industry to silence victims of harassment and abuse is a major concern.
The committee established that women reported mistreatment at low rates because of fear of retaliation.
Despite music industry support for the report, the previous Conservative government declined to implement any of its recommendations.
The Labour party conference passed a motion calling on the government to implement the committee's report in full.
