Thread Name: Sexual exploitation in folk
Subject: RE: Sexual exploitation in folk
Anne Lister. you said this quote
And yes, it would be good to name names, but all that would happen then is that some would close ranks around the names and deny it was possible (we can see that in the responses already on this thread) i feel insulted that you have suggested that i might close ranks and deny it was possible.
I have never suggested that in my responses on this thread,
and as for being insulted because i spelled your name [a typo ann instead of anne]. is laughable.
your use of the word some , does not let you off the hook. I object to the possibilty in your wording that i might be included in some, is that clear. i do not condone or believe sexual exploitation is ok.
if you are a professional or semipro musician it is your work ok so this is what you are supposed to doIf you experience sexual harassment at work

    if the behaviour is serious or continues, you should make a written formal complaint.
    if the behaviour continues you might need mediation.
    if the person harassing you is your employer and they do not stop, get outside support.
    It is your right to be protected at work.
