We must remind ourselves that collective global action means going beyond our borders. Today we look at the report ‘Les femmes dans l’industrie musicale canadienne’ (Women in the Francophone Canadian Music Industry) from Musicaction. We see the trends reflected beyond Europe, the socio-economic conditions that women face – further exacerbated by the gender pay gap and barriers faced due to parenthood. It’s no wonder that a significant proportion of women and gender minorities cannot devote themselves entirely to their career in music, often requiring them to seek additional work beyond the music industry. We hear this echoed all over the globe.   

Musicaction is a non-profit organisation that supports the French-speaking population in the Canadian music industry. Interested in reading more? Find the report here.
