Gender equality on and off stage: resources on gender equality

UNI Europa has teamed up with workers and employers organisations in the live performance sector to launch a website dedicated to findings and resources on gender equality.

The website includes a database of good practice examples on gender equality in the live performance sector across Europe, as well as recordings of the Gender Equality Thursdays, a series of webinars which took place in the autumn of 2021. The website is available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Polish.

This is part of a recently-concluded joint project on gender equality of the European Social Partners in the Live Performance sector. They Pearle*-Live Performance Europe on the employers’ side and EAEA-European Arts and Entertainment Alliance including FIA (International Federation of Actors), FIM (International Federation of Musicians) and UNI MEI representing workers in the sector.

The project ran from February 2020 to January 2022 and allowed for meaningful exchanges between social partners across Europe, as well as provided a comprehensive overview on the situation of gender equality in this sector. The European Social Partners in the Live Performance sector will continue to work together on this topic and to build on the resources on the website, to make the live performance sector more equal and inclusive.
