A group of people in the Dance Music Industry who are fighting for change in an industry that has been cloaked in sexual abuse from its infancy. By sharing our own stories and those of other survivors in the industry, we can raise awareness and combat a culture of silence which turns a blind eye to the presence of violence and abuse. Through our campaign, we are pursuing drastic change in nightclubs, venues and festivals across the globe in hope that these places of work and entertainment adopt a zero-tolerance policy to harassment by creating a safe space for all to be enjoyed without the threat of sexual predators.
Visit the WebsiteThe mission and philosophy of Future Female Sounds is simple: this excellent non-profit organization, set up in 2017, was set up with the specific aim of making DJ culture more accessible to women and gender-expansive people globally. It’s as simple and sincere as that, with FFS supporting and guiding those creatives along their journey. That means that there are not only educated instructors, but also the endgame is that the DJs graduate and step out into a bigger, brighter world. A quick scan of their socials will see this ethos being celebrated daily. Safe, inspired, uplifted and transformed are the words and the adjectives used by FFS to describe the feeling they aim to reach with their workshops and overall work around the world.
