Recommendation 21
21
Accepted
Mandate adequate, separate dressing room facilities for women and gender nonconforming musicians in venues.
Recommendation
Expecting women to change in front their male peers or in their car, or to share rooms or beds with male colleagues while on tour, is unacceptable and raises safety concerns. The music industry needs to improve its facilitation of mixed groups. As a minimum, venues that host live music should provide adequate, separate dressing room facilities for women and gender nonconforming musicians. (Recommendation, Paragraph 100)
Government Response Summary
The government supports the recommendation and states that CIISA's Standards will be reinforced to ensure venues hosting live music provide adequate, separate dressing room facilities for women and gender nonconforming musicians.
