Can anyone suggest good forums/places to share our survey with people who work or volunteer at #festivals (in any capacity)? We want to hear about workers' perceptions of safety and experiences at festivals :) durham.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/sexual-harassm…

Fantastic event today! Thanks so much to @snappyalligator @phillipwadds and @traceyw1981 from @safegigs4women for presenting and to everyone who attended! ❤️
On the one hand some festivals are opening up to talking about sexual violence and doing work in this area but this doesn’t necessarily extend to performers who might be performing songs with VAW lyrics while at same time festival taking stance against sexual violence #SVAFconf
There are other fantastic organisations doing work in this industry too including @girlsagainst @WhiteRibbon_UK ans many others
Venues can’t exist without gig goers - it makes economical sense, if nothing else, for venues to take this seriously because people want to know they are attending events where safety is a priority. It’s good morally and economically! @safegigs4women #SVAFconf

Starting in 2016, @safegigs4women started attending gigs and festivals to raise awareness and push for change. Initial excitement at this work quickly depleted as many festivals had closed doors and didn’t want to engage in this work or recognise sexual violence #SVAFconf
Not much data on crimes at festivals. One survey was conducted by insurer Aviva so needs to be taken as biased but even so, we know that crime happens at festivals but sexual violence is seen as a separate issue as crime really seen as theft. #SVAFconf
Interesting findings included that women felt safer in a group of women but for men, being in a group of men made them feel less safe. #SVAFConf
Spaces were patrons felt unsafe: Camp sites Toilets Woodland Walkways between camping and festival stage areas Physical violence Sexual assault/sexuakl harassment/sexual violence (men generally concerned for their female friends/partners ) #SVAFconf
Also sad to hear of the acceptance and normalisation of sexual harassment and assault as part of festival life. Women should not have to 'brush it off' 'become immune to it' 'expect it' #SVAFconf
Incredibly saddening to hear the first-hand accounts of sexual assault and harassment from women at festivals. These issues are structural and require immediate and transformative change from the festival sector to protect attendees. #SVAFconf
Looking forward to the @CRiVADurham event today on their research into sexual violence at music festivals
Looking forward to catching up with the latest research on sexual violence at music festivals and what we can do to prevent it, at today's @CRiVADurham conference. Part of my role as adviser on safety in night time economy and chairing safety & access for @BristolNightsHQ
We are delighted to be attending @CRiVADurham conference this morning on sexual violence at UK Music Festivals. Looking forward to learning more about how we can eliminate sexual violence in the Irish music and nightlife scene 🙌 #SafeGigsIreland
