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

    G.A.N.G (Girls and Gigs) is a resource by FEMWAV (an ’empowerment network’ for female and non-binary talent from India) that can be used as a ‘call to action’ for ensuring women’s safety in the festival sector. This should be taken into account by artists, audiences, venue owners and organisers in order to make the festival space inclusive and accommodating.
