Defected's The Basement, London

Fresh from its biggest ever summer season of festivals and events, cultural force NOT BAD FOR A GIRL’s Founder & Director Martha Bolton is back to host the unique panel discussion series We Need Some More Men In Here after a sell-out success in May. It’s a big moment in the battle against misogyny and abuse for the creative industries. NOT BAD FOR A GIRL’s We Need Some More Men In Here panel series brings men’s voices into focus on the issues, specifically gender inequality in dance music. December’s all-male panels feature highly respected industry heads who recognise that the gender imbalance in people’s experience of dance music can’t be fixed, unless men contribute to the change and work hard to tackle it. Seeking answers for how we can come together to shape a better future for everyone, this panel will be all about fostering a judgement-free environment and sharing insights without hostility. Nowhere else will you find good people with good intent sharing constructive conversation like this - all for FREE. Everyone is welcome to share experiences before and after the panel, or just come and listen, soak up some refreshing perspectives and leave more hopeful about the potential for change.
