G.A.N.G. (Girls and Gigs): Ensuring Women’s Safety in the Festival Sector

Abstract

G.A.N.G. is an initiative started by FEMWAV–an ’empowerment network’ for female and non-binary talent from India–in order to call out to artists, organisers, venue owners and audiences for creating safer and equitable spaces for women. The policies covered are directed at interventions on the levels of, but not limited to, addressing ‘harassment, stalking and sexual violence that women face at clubs, concerts and festivals.’
