WIM Workplace Initiative

To encourage safe, equitable, diverse and inclusive work environments, WIM will launch our Workplace Initiative in 2020 to name the "Best Places to Work for Women in Music." Stay tuned for more news coming soon, and email us to get involved!

WIM 50/50 Initiative

Visibility is key to increasing the participation of women in the music industry, particularly at the top where women are far outnumbered. Our 50/50 campaign is centered around the idea that if you can see it, you can achieve it. WIM will continue to partner with music industry conferences to work towards equal representation by matching each conference with women to fill their panelist and keynote spots. In addition, WIM continues to create keynote opportunities for women in the industry through our panels and seminars, our new webinar series, and ongoing interviews highlighting women in music with an eye on intentional diversity and inclusion.

​Support: Sexual Harassment + Assault

Building upon WIM's two-part support series released in 2018, we will continue to address the topic of sexual harassment and assault through education and empowerment initiatives.  For more information on the two-part series, see the first installment, which provides practical resources, tips, and steps to take action now if you are experiencing or witnessing sexual harassment or assault, and for those creating intra-office programming around it. The second installment of the series addresses relevant mental-health issues surrounding harassment and assault. WIM is committed to supporting safe workplaces for women in the industry, and beyond.
