Victims who do speak out struggle to be believed or may find their career ends as a consequence, it claimed.The WEC’s recommendations included urging ministers to take legislative steps to amend the Equality Act. This would ensure that freelance workers have the same protections from discrimination as employees, and would bring into force Section 14 to improve protections for people facing intersectional inequality.The WEC also recommended that the UK government should legislate to impose a duty on employers to protect workers from sexual harassment by third parties, a proposal the government initially supported and then rejected last year.It also called for an investment in diversity schemes by both the wider industry and government, especially for male-dominated areas such as A&R, sound engineering and production.Additionally, the committee urged record labels to commit to regular publication of statistics on the diversity of their rosters.
