CORPORATE CULTURE
Gender-equitable participation and diversity open up an untapped treasure trove of artistic potential for companies in the culture and media industry and therefore represent a huge opportunity. By involving diverse people in the artistic creation process, stereotypical misrepresentations are prevented. With contemporary stories told from unusual angles, you also attract new audiences. In addition, a forward-looking corporate culture increases the appeal of your company or theater.

[5] In the “Diversity in Film” study, 81% of cis women stated that they had experienced sexual harassment at work several times in the last two years. More than half of all filmmakers surveyed (51%) reported discrimination in the workplace, with this figure rising to 80% for women. The most common forms of discrimination related to gender, age and racial ascriptions. The survey conducted by the Swiss Stage Artists' Association (SBKV) came to a similar conclusion: 80% of all participants stated that they had experienced at least one sexual assault in the last two years of their career; 69% of those affected were women.

[6] The term antiziganism is sometimes discussed controversially. However, since it is recommended by the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, we use it. More here: https://zentralrat.sintiundroma.de/romani-rose-zum-begriff-antiziganismus/
