FIFTITU%

FIFTITU% is an initiator, activist, partner and supporter and sees itself as an open and innovative association that closes the common link between experimental regional culture and contemporary art. In process-oriented cooperation with women * unite and with the inclusion of current, site-specific cultural work, art and cultural projects are realized that achieve a high level of sustainability. Many of the achievements in Upper Austria that are taken for granted today would not have existed without FIFTITU%, for example the inclusion of quota regulations in the promotion of art and culture, the creation of regular women’s reports in the field of culture or the anchoring of women’s political demands in the cultural development plans of the province of Upper Austria and the cities of Linz and Steyr.

FIFTITU% ist Initiator*in, Aktivist*in, Partner*in und Unterstützer*in und versteht sich als offener und innovativer Verein der die gemeinsame Klammer zwischen experimentierfreudiger Regionalkultur und Gegenwartskunst schließt. In prozessorientierten Kooperationen mit Frauen*vereinen und unter Einbeziehung aktueller ortsspezifischer Kulturarbeit werden Kunst- und Kulturprojekte verwirklicht, die eine hohe Nachhaltigkeit erreichen. Viele heute selbstverständliche Errungenschaften in Oberösterreich hätte es ohne FIFTITU% nicht gegeben, beispielsweise die Aufnahme von Quotenregelungen in der Kunst- und Kulturförderung, die Erstellung von regelmäßigen Frauenberichten im Kulturbereich oder die Verankerung frauenpolitischer Forderungen in Kulturentwicklungsplänen des Landes Oberösterreich und der Städte Linz und Steyr.

IN FOCUS

IN FOCUS incubator was sparked off based on research findings that reveal that female filmmakers’ projects tend to be hindered after the initial script development phase. In Finland, where the film industry is mainly financed by non-recoupable public funding, on average only 24% of the funding is granted to the production of female-originated films. These findings, which prove there is no equal access for women into the film industry by any standards, sparked off a countermeasure, a comprehensive script and project development incubator based on gender equality and diversity.

Charters for gender equality in museum practices

For the first time in France last year a grouping of three museums from the town of Rouen has elaborated and adopted a charter for gender equality of museum practices. The charter includes 20 engagements, reflecting the concerns and goals of classic institutions, which have collections where gender disparities are acute and which wish to change their museum practices. This includes a new policy for acquisitions of women artists and authors, but also interestingly “During monographic exhibitions, do not hide in the biography of artists and personalities, any proven facts of sexual or sexist violence”.

Mörderische Schwestern

Mörderische Schwestern e. V. setzt sich das Ziel, die von Frauen verfasste deutschsprachige Krimiliteratur zu fördern. Die rund 500 Autorinnen aus mehreren europäischen Ländern unterstützen sich gegenseitig in allen schriftstellerischen Bereichen rund um den Krimi. Ob klassische Arbeit am Text, Tipps zu Veröffentlichungsmöglichkeiten, Fachfragen zu Forensik, Rechtlichem oder dem Erfahrungsaustausch, die Mörderischen Schwestern helfen sich untereinander soweit es geht. Hinzu kommt ein verstärktes politisches Engagement des Vereins in den letzten Jahren, vor allem zu Fragen des Urheberrechts. Seit einigen Jahren vergeben die Mörderischen Schwestern ein Arbeitsstipendium in Höhe von 1.500 Euro für Autorinnen deutscher Sprache in der Spannungsliteratur, da es gerade Frauen sind, die durch Alters- oder Aufenthaltsbeschränkungen keine Chancen haben, an klassischen Stipendienausschreibungen teilzunehmen. Das Stipendium der Mörderischen Schwestern bietet die Chance, der unterrepräsentierten deutschen Kriminalliteratur von Frauen in Verlagshäusern, im Buchhandel und bei Preisvergaben eine Stimme zu geben. Des Weiteren verleiht das Netzwerk seit 2009 alle drei Jahre »Die goldene Auguste« an eine Person, die sich um den von Frauen geschriebenen Krimi verdient gemacht hat. Zuletzt erhielt 2015 Nina George den Preis aufgrund ihres Engagements unter anderem für die Rechte der Autorenschaft in der Buchbranche und für das Urheberrecht in der digitalen Gesellschaft. Einmal im Jahr treffen sich die Mörderischen Schwestern in Deutschland zur Vollversammlung. Hinzu kommen Aktivitäten vor Ort in den »Regiogruppen«, wo Lesungen organisiert, Fachtreffen und Besichtigungen veranstaltet oder Schreibwochenenden abgehalten werden.

Mörderische Schwestern e.V. („Murderous Sisters“) aims to support German female crime thrillers. Approximately 500 female authors from various European countries support each other in all areas of the thriller-writing, whether editing, giving advice on publishing or answering technical questions about forensics or law. Additionally, the association has been politically engaged in the last years, especially regarding questions of copyright law. For a few years, Mörderische Schwestern has been awarding 1.500€ grant for women authors who write crime thrillers in German. It is often women who, because of constraints through age or restrictions on residence, are ineligible for traditional grants. The Mörderische Schwestern grant amplifies the voices of underrepresented German crime literature by women within publishing houses, the book trade and award ceremonies. Moreover, every three years the network awards the „Die goldene Auguste“ prize to someone who supports women in crime literature. In 2015, Nina George received the award for her engagement for copyright law in the digital realm. Once a year, the Mörderische Schwestern meet up for a plenary assembly in Germany, where public readings and specialized meetings are held, and where writers‘ weekends and tours are organized.

Archiv Frau und Musik

Seit 1978 besteht der internationale Arbeitskreis »Frau und Musik e.V.« mit Vereinssitz in Kassel und dazugehörigen Archiv in Frankfurt am Main. Er ist ein Zusammenschluss von Komponistinnen, Musikerinnen, Musikwissenschaftlerinnen, Musikpädagogen, Musikinteressierten und -ausübenden aus zahlreichen Ländern. Sowohl die Situation der Frau im heutigen Musikleben, als auch das weibliche Musikschaffen in der Vergangenheit sind im Betrachtungsfeld des Arbeitskreises. Er fördert die Integration der Frau in möglichst vielfältige musikalische und kulturpolitische Organisationen und Institutionen. Der Verweis auf die mangelnde Präsenz von Komponistinnen, Dirigentinnen, Orchestermusikerinnen, Musikwissenschaftlerinnen und Professorinnen im Musikleben wird in den Medien, durch Kongresse und Konzertveranstaltungen angebracht. Der internationale Arbeitskreis »Frau und Musik« verfügt zudem über ein Archiv, das sich für Interpretinnen, Wissenschaftlerinnen, Journalistinnen und Studentinnen als wichtigste Anlaufstelle erwiesen hat.

„Frau und Musik e.V.“ (Woman and Music) exists since 1978 as an international work group, with a seat in Kassel and an archive in Frankfurt am Main. It is an international association of female composers, musicians, musicologists, music educators and those interested in or making music. The work group focuses on the situation of women in today’s music scene, as well as the role of female musicians in the past. It promotes the integration of women is many different musical or cultural-political organizations and institutions. The media, conferences and concerts point to the absence of female composers, conductors, orchestral musicians, musicologists and professors of music. Moreover, „Frau und Musik“ has an archive which has become an important point of contact for female interpreters, scientists, journalists and students.

Bücherfrauen

BücherFrauen e.V. ist ein Branchen-Netzwerk, das 1990 nach dem Vorbild der englischen Women in Publishing in München gegründet wurde. Das Branchen-Netzwerk vereint die Interessen von rund 950 Frauen, die angestellt oder freiberuflich mit Büchern zu tun haben. Die bundesweit in Regionalgruppen organisierten BücherFrauen bestimmen die Schwerpunkte ihrer regelmäßig stattfindenden Treffen eigenständig: von Fachvorträgen zu Berufsbildern und -themen bis hin zu berufsbezogenen Fragen wie Altersversorgung, Arbeitsorganisation, Gehaltsverhandlung und internen Stammtischen. Des Weiteren bringen die »Mentoring-Projekte« in mehreren Regionalgruppen weibliche Nachwuchskräfte mit Führungsfrauen zusammen. Über einen begrenzten Zeitraum wird die junge Kollegin von der berufserfahreneren Mentorin beraten und in ihrer beruflichen Entwicklung unterstützt. Ein Forum für den fachlichen Austausch schaffen, Fortbildungen anbieten, »Seilschaften« bilden, also Kontakte schaffen und ggf. Jobs und Aufträge vermitteln, vor allem aber frauenspezifische Interessen in der Buchbranche vertreten, gehören zu den Säulen des Netzwerks.

BücherFrauen e.V. („BookWomen“) is an industry network that was founded in 1990, modelled on the Munich version of the English Women in Publishing. The industry network combines the interests of approximately 950 women who work with books either as freelancers or hired. The national organization is divided into regional groups, and it independently determines the focus of the regularly-held meetings: specialist lectures with regards to the business, as well as business-related questions, for example pension schemes, labor organization or salary negotiations. Moreover, „Mentoring Projects“ bring together young female talents and leading women in the field. The younger colleague will be guided and supported by the professionally experienced mentor over a set time frame. The pillars of the industry network include putting women into contact with each other, place them with jobs or assignments, and especially, to represent women’s interests in the book industry.

Music Women Germany is the first nationwide network for all music women* in Germany. No matter whether artist, business, media or tech – from the conductor, manager, entrepreneur, musician, producer to technician, all women in the music industry should be offered qualifications, networking, presence, participation and empowerment. Music Women Germany was founded as an independent umbrella organization of the 16 regional networks (partly in the process of being founded) to promote, network and make women in the music industry visible, as well as existing networks in Germany. Also on board is the first nationwide database of all music women.

Music Women Germany ist das erste bundesweite Netzwerk für alle Musikfrauen* in Deutschland. Egal, ob Artist, Business, Media oder Tech – von der Dirigentin, Managerin, Unternehmerin, Musikerin, Produzentin bis zur Technikerin, allen Frauen aus der Musikbranche soll Qualifikation, Vernetzung, Präsenz, Teilhabe und Empowerment geboten werden. Als unabhängige Dachorganisation der regionalen 16 Ländernetzwerke (teilweise in Gründung) wurde Music Women Germany zur Förderung, Vernetzung und Sichtbarmachung von Frauen in der Musikwirtschaft, aber auch bestehenden Netzwerken in Deutschland gegründet. Mit an Bord ist auch die erste bundesweite Datenbank aller Musikfrauen.

Featuring Females* – Mädchen und Frauen in der Musikszene Kulturraum e.V. Leipzig

Girls can assert themselves in the field of the electronic music scene – both in the production of electronic music, as a visual artist or DJ, in organizing events or looking after lighting and sound technology! In addition, 10 girls and women between 13 and 25 years of age receive support from the professionals from Feat.Fem in four workshops. The Featuring Females* series is first about women in club culture. “If cultural production is shaped by male tastes and perceptions, you have to counter this with something. I do think that women sometimes choose a different expression and address other things in their music and art, ”says Emilia from Feat.Fem.

Mädchen können sich im Feld der elektronischen Musikszene behaupten – sowohl bei der Produktion von elektronischer Musik, als auch als Visual Artist oder DJ, bei der Veranstaltungsorganisation oder Betreuung von Licht- und Tontechnik!

Es geht bei der Featuring Females*-Reihe erstmal um Frauen in der Clubkultur. „Wenn Kulturproduktion von männlichem Geschmack und Wahrnehmungen geprägt ist, muss man dem auch etwas entgegensetzen. Ich denke schon, dass Frauen teilweise einen anderen Ausdruck wählen und andere Sachen in ihrer Musik und Kunst thematisieren.“, so Emilia von Feat.Fem.

EWVA Equality for Women in Visual Arts

EWVA ist eine offene Initiative, die einlädt, im Bereich der Bildenden Kunst die Präsenz von Frauen zu überprüfen. Eine Art freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, das eigene Handeln zu beobachten und so aktiv die Situation zu verändern. Wir glauben, dass eine Stärkung des Bewusstseins von der aktuellen unbefriedigenden Situation für Frauen in der Bildenden Kunst die Voraussetzung dafür ist, eine Verbesserung in Richtung Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Gang zu setzen.

EWVA is an open initiative that invites you to review the presence of women in the visual arts. A kind of voluntary self-control to observe one‘s own actions and to actively change the situation. We believe that raising awareness of the current unsatisfactory situation for women in the fine arts is the prerequisite for launching an improvement in the direction of gender equality

Goldrausch

Das Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt bietet Bildenden Künstlerinnen ein umfassendes Programm zur Professionalisierung. Ein einjähriges Postgraduiertenseminar vermittelt berufsspezifische Kenntnisse, die für die komplexen Erfordernisse einer selbständigen künstlerischen Tätigkeit notwendig sind. Insofern wendet sich das Programm an Bildende Künstlerinnen, die ihre Ausbildung abgeschlossen und erste Berufserfahrungen erworben haben. Es gibt keine Altersbeschränkung, die Teilnahme ist Dank Förderung durch den Berliner Senat und den Europäischen Sozialfond (ESF) kostenfrei.

Ziel des Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojektes ist es, die jeweils 15 Teilnehmerinnen in ihrer erfolgreichen Berufstätigkeit zu unterstützen – durch die Aneignung von Wissen und Kompetenzen im Kursprogramm sowie durch eine öffentlichkeitswirksame Präsentation der künstlerischen Arbeit und gezielte Netzwerkbildung.

Die Anwendbarkeit auf die jeweiligen künstlerischen Strategien und damit die Entwicklung individueller Handlungsperspektiven für den beruflichen Werdegang stehen ebenso im Fokus wie das selbstbewusste Agieren der Künstlerinnen in Kunstöffentlichkeit und Kunstmarkt.

Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt „Goldrausch Female Artists Project“ offers professionalization programs for female visual artists. A one-year postgraduate seminar provides the specialized knowledge that is necessary for the complex professional life of a freelance artist. The program addresses female visual artists who completed their training and who have gathered first work experiences. There are no age restrictions and the participation is free, thanks to the support of the Berlin Senate and the European Social Fund (ESF).

Goldrausch’s Female Artists Project aims to support fifteen participants in their respective professional careers through transmitting knowledge and competencies in the course program, as well as public presentations of the artistic work and focused networking opportunities.

There is a focus on the practical applicability of the respective artistic strategy and thus, the development of individual career perspectives, as well as the female artists‘ confidence within the art public and the art market.

FURTHER* FESTIVAL

“Unfortunately, there are not enough good women, they were really looking for them”, it always rattles from the mouths of the booking and organizers, when you ask why it is unfortunately only men on your stages, podiums, in your games and remove it from the consoles. The first festival has a line-up that was 100 percent women, non-binary and transgender. No more compromises, no closer, no more: just do it. We want to show that a cultural and political offer can do very well even without the dominance of Cismänner, that it also needs to function, is of quality, works and releases new dynamics.

„Es gibt halt nun mal leider nicht genug gute Frauen, wir haben wirklich gesucht“, krakeelt es stets aus den Booking- und Veranstaltermündern, spricht man sie darauf an, weshalb es leider mal wieder nur Männer auf ihre Bühnen, Podien, in ihre Listen und an die Pulte geschafft haben. Das erste Festival stellte ein Line-Up auf, das zu einhundert Prozent aus Frauen*, nichtbinären Personen und Transgender bestand. Keine Kompromisse mehr, kein Annähern, kein Ding: Es einfach mal machen. Wir wollen zeigen, dass ein kulturelles und politisches Angebot sehr gut auch ohne die Dominanz von Cismännern auskommt, selbstverständlich auch funktioniert, Qualität besitzt, vielseitig ist und neue Dynamiken freisetzt.

Verband unabhängiger Musikunternehmer*innen e. V. (VUT)

Der Monitoringbericht des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie von 2013 mit seinen Daten zu Frauen in der Musikwirtschaft gab den Ausschlag für die Gründung von Music Industry Women. Die Musikwirtschaft lag mit ihrem Frauenanteil von 42,9 Prozent im Bereich Tonträger und Musikverlage zwar im Mittelfeld der Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft, ein Blick auf die Führungsebene offenbarte jedoch ein großes Ungleichgewicht und die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen. Seit 2015 besteht daher Music Industry Women, ein Netzwerk für Frauen in der Musikwirtschaft innerhalb des Verbandes unabhängiger Musikunternehmen e.V. (vut). Das Netzwerk wurde gegründet, um mehr Sichtbarkeit und Mitgestaltung von Frauen in der Musikbranche zu erreichen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Frauen in Führungsverantwortung und als Gründerinnen. Dazu wurde ein Mentoring-Programm ins Leben gerufen, dessen bereits zweite Runde im Herbst dieses Jahres startet. Darüber hinaus versteht sich Music Industry Women als Plattform für Vernetzung, Austausch und Weiterbildung.

Music Industry Women was founded in response to the 2013 monitoring report by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology which laid bare the data for women in the music industry. Although the music industry has a female share of 42,9% in the category phonogram and music publishing, women at the executive level are severely underrepresented. Thus, Music Industry Women exists since 2015 within the Verband Unabhängiger Musiker e.V. „vut“ (Association of independent musicians), offering a network for women in the music industry. The network was founded to enhance female visibility and active participation in the music industry. A mentoring program focuses specifically on women in leading positions and women as founders. Beyond this, Music Industry Women understands itself as a platform for networking, exchange and training.

sparkx – Das Leadership-Programm für Frauen in Medienunternehmen

Das Programm ist auf drei Jahre angelegt und richtet sich an Unternehmen aus der Medienbranche, also Film, TV, Radio, Publishing, IT, Games und Musik. Ziel ist es, Frauen in Medienunternehmen in ihren Karrieremöglichkeiten zu fördern und ihre Positionen nachhaltig zu verbessern. Die teilnehmenden Unternehmen entsenden jeweils eine Frau aus dem mittleren Management und eine/n Personalverantwortliche/n in gesonderte Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen. sparkx geht es um das Empowerment von Frauen und gleichzeitig soll das Thema Gleichstellungsmanagement nachhaltig im Unternehmen verankert werden. Die Unternehmen profitieren von der Erschließung des unternehmensinternen Potentials, der stärkeren Bindung der Mitarbeiterinnen und der Steigerung der Arbeitgeberattraktivität. Um den flexiblen Veränderungen der Berufswelt gerecht zu werden, sind gemischte Führungsteams nachweislich unabdingbar. sparkx unterstützt Medienunternehmen dabei mehr Frauen in Führung zu bringen.

The program aims at companies from the media industry, i.e. film, TV, radio, publishing, IT, games and music. The goal is to support women in media companies in their career opportunities and to improve their positions in the long term. The participating companies each send a woman from middle management and a human resources officer to separate further training measures. sparkx is about the empowerment of women and at the same time the topic of equality management should be anchored in the company in the long term. The companies benefit from the development of the company’s internal potential, the stronger loyalty of the employees and the increase in employer attractiveness. In order to cope with the flexible changes in the professional world, mixed management teams are demonstrably indispensable. sparkx supports media companies in getting more women into leadership.

Safe The Dance

Even in 2020, sexism, violence, racism and discrimination are an everyday experience at many events. We believe that all events should have individual awareness concepts and teams so that every person attending can feel safe and welcome. Our multi-perspective, intersectional and interdisciplinary team is the best prerequisite for a detailed examination of this topic and the development of multi-layered, individual recommendations for action for events or organisations. Awareness & Safer Space Policies for events & organisations.

Auch 2020 sind Sexismus, Gewalt, Rassismus und Diskriminierung erlebter Alltag auf vielen Veranstaltungen. Obwohl immer mehr Veranstalter*innen reagieren und “Awareness-Konzepte” einführen, um “Safe(r) Spaces” zu kreieren, setzen sich trotzdem bislang noch viel zu wenige mit diesem Thema auseinander oder es fehlen ihnen die notwendigen Informationen und Tools. Hier will “Safe The Dance” aktiv werden und diese Lücke schließen.

Theater.Frauen

Warum gibt es nach wie vor so wenige Intendantinnen? Wie bekommt man als junge Regisseurin den Fuß in die Bühnentür? Wie können sich Frauen in Theaterberufen besser vernetzen? Diese Fragen stellten im Januar 2015 Frauen aus der Theaterpraxis, der Wissenschaft und der Kulturpolitik im Rahmen des Symposium Theater.Frauen an der Freien Universität Berlin. Im Anschluss fiel der Entschluss, Theater.Frauen zu einer Plattform zu machen, über die sich Frauen vernetzen, austauschen und ihre Ideen teilen können. Ziel ist es, dass Frauen im Theater sowohl auf beruflicher Ebene gleichgestellt werden, als auch inhaltlich genauso vielseitig repräsentiert werden wie die männlichen Kollegen. Theater.Frauen ist somit eine Community, in der tolle Stücke und Produktionen von/mit/über interessante Frauen vorgestellt werden, in der man sich Rat einholen kann, Probleme diskutiert, Mentorinnenschaften geknüpft, Jobangebote geteilt werden können usw.

Why are there still so few female artistic directors? How does one, as a young female filmmaker, get a foothold in the film industry? How can women get better networking opportunities? Women in theatre, dramatics and cultural politics asked these questions during a symposium Theater.Frauen (Theatre.Women) at the Freie Universität Berlin. Subsequently, it was decided to make Theater.Frauen a platform for women to network and exchange ideas. Its aim is the equal opportunity for women on a professional level, as well as female representation on a content-level. Thus, Theater.Frauen is a community which presents plays and productions by/ with/ about interesting women, where one can get advice, discuss problems, find female mentors, share job opportunities etc.

Digital Media Women e.V.

Mit der Gründung 2010 hat sich der Verein das Ziel gesteckt, die Sichtbarkeit von Frauen in der Digitalbranche zu erhöhen und sich für eine gleichberechtigte Teilhabe einzusetzen. Das Netzwerk soll den Frauen den Rücken stärken und durch Gespräche mit anderen Frauen ihr Selbstbewusstsein aufbauen. Der Verein möchte Frauen, die in der Digitalbranche arbeiten, miteinander vernetzen. Dazu gehört auch die Kooperation mit anderen Initiativen aus Wirtschaft und Politik, um frühzeitig Frauen und junge Mädchen für Technologie zu begeistern und zu mündigen Diskussionspartnern zu machen. Es geht dem Verein um Diversität und Vielfalt und zwar überall: auf Podien, bei Veranstaltungen und in Unternehmen. Daher sind die Digital Media Women auch ein Verein, der Männer nicht ausschließt, sondern begrüßt. Eine Tätigkeit in der Medienbranche soll keine Voraussetzung für die Teilhabe an dem Verein sein, denn Digitalisierung berühre im Grunde alle. Es können sich alle engagieren und angesprochen fühlen, die sich mit dem digitalen Wandel beschäftigen, denn mit seinen neun Standorten deutschlandweit steht der Verein Interessierten zur Seite.

In 2010, when the association was founded, Digital Media Women decided to aim for visibility of women in the digital sector, and to advocate for equal participation. The network wants to connect women working in the digital sector. This includes cooperating with different political and economic initiatives to encourage women and girls to get invested in technology, and to prepare them for mature and competent discussions early on. The association cares about diversity in all branches: on the podium, at events and in companies. Thus, Digital Media Women does not exclude men but welcomes them. Members do not have to work in the media industry since digitalization affects everything. All those who deal with digital transformation can engage since the association, with its nine German locations, will assist anyone who is interested.

Bios Arts and Media

Located in the heart of Athens, Bios is much more than a bar. Its main goal is hosting regular exhibitions and music. Our social oriented activities have been group education sessions in which young men critically reflect on what it means to be men. Building on a human rights- based approach, we promote a critical consciousness about gender. Those sessions are in turn supported by community campaigns, which are created and implemented by young people and adults promoting non-violent and gender- equitable ways of being men. Our work has evolved to include young women as partners and also to engage parents—mothers and fathers—in working to reduce corporal punishment of children and promote gender-equitable child rearing. We also conduct both formative and impact evaluation studies of our work. And we collaborate with partners to carry out advocacy activities

PiPA campaign

Lack of support and provision for carers in the Performing Arts is endemic, and, if not addressed, will mean that many are forced to leave the industry after starting a family, leading to a loss of talent and further inequality in the Arts. To address these issues and affect change in the Performing Arts, in 2016 Cassie Raine, Actor, and Anna Ehnold-Danailov, Director, founded the Parents and Carers in Performing Arts Campaign, PiPA. Over the past years the PiPA campaign has conducted extensive research and called for change across the industry. In order to address the scale of change that’s needed, and to ensure that work is ongoing and monitored, PIPA has become a limited company. Their research highlights the need for a long term presence in the performing arts as well as cross-arts dialogue in order to maximise opportunities for learning and share Best Practice.

SWAP’ra: Supporting Women and Parents in Opera

On top of a general focus on gender equality (notably the underrepresentation of women in the sector), this initiative focuses specifically on issues related to combining parenthood with a career in opera. The flexibility required in terms of last minute changes in rehearsing schedule, is a practical problem for many parents. Moreover, initiators notice a taboo on the way parenthood affects singers- who feel they are taken less seriously when they have to make choices for the benefit of their families.

Fair Share of Women Leaders

FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders e.V. is a non-profit association that is registered in Germany and operates worldwide. We are still a very young organization and our structures are being set up.

We aim to test and showcase new forms of governance that reflect feminist values and principles, and overcome some of the pitfalls of power imbalance, hierarchy and the bureaucracy of “traditional governance” mechanisms.

A key element of our organizational structure is a distinction between control and support mechanisms, with the roles being clearly separated between bodies that ensure proper operation in accordance with the legal framework in Germany and bodies that promote and represent the program and the vision of FAIR SHARE. Different skills are required in these roles, and we want to incorporate as much as possible the growing network that is developing around FAIR SHARE.

We call on all social impact organisations to achieve a FAIR SHARE of women leaders by 2030

The Women’s Room

A website dedicated to sourcing media-friendly female experts. Our other aim in setting up The Women’s Room is to provide women with a collective voice; to this end we have our database sortable by region as well as area of expertise and a forum. We hope that this regional sorting will not only enable local media to find local female experts, but that women will be able to get together and form local networking groups.

Male Feminists Europe: European male feminists united for gender equality

We believe that there is only one solution to all equality issues: if women and men join forces and stand up for equal rights. We also believe that there are a lot of men out there who aren’t yet aware of their responsibility or who can’t find access to male entities for supporting feminism. We want to show that there are those men and that there are not just a few. We want to make them visible and create a ramp towards a togetherness of the genders. We believe in the power of information, debate, exchange of ideas and the need to do this on a European level.

Goldsmiths, University of London: Rethinking ‚Diversity‘ in Publishing

Grundlage für die Studie „Rethinking ‚Diversity‘ in Publishing“ von Dr. Anamik Saha und Dr. Sandra van Lente (Goldsmiths, University of London) sind über 100 qualitative Interviews mit Buchmarktakteur*innen im UK. Zentrales Ergebnis: Die Konzentration auf ein weißes Mittelschicht-Publikum sowie die fehlende Wertschätzung für Schwarze, British Asian oder working-class Lesende haben einen nachteiligen Einfluss auf die Akquise, Bewerbung und den Verkauf von Büchern von BIPoC Autor*innen.

Der Bericht macht weitreichende Verbesserungsvorschläge und ruft Verlage, Agenturen und Buchhandlungen dazu auf, neu über Diversität nachzudenken sowie ihre Praktiken und Voreingenommenheiten zu reflektieren und zu verändern.
