CORPORATE CULTURE
Gender-equitable participation and diversity open up an untapped treasure trove of artistic potential for companies in the culture and media industry and therefore represent a huge opportunity. By involving diverse people in the artistic creation process, stereotypical misrepresentations are prevented. With contemporary stories told from unusual angles, you also attract new audiences. In addition, a forward-looking corporate culture increases the appeal of your company or theater.

[5] In the study "Diversity in Film", 81% of cis women stated that they had experienced sexual harassment at work on several occasions. The survey of the Swiss Association of Stage Artists (SBKV) comes to a similar conclusion: Here, 80% of all participants stated that they had experienced at least one sexual assault in the last two years of employment - 69% of the victims were women. In addition, a quarter of respondents in the "Diversity in Film" study said they had been affected by discrimination in the workplace. Gender, age and racial attributions were cited as the most common forms of discrimination. More on the "Diversity in Film" study here.
[6] The term antiziganism is sometimes discussed controversially. However, since it is recommended by the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, we use it. More here: https://zentralrat.sintiundroma.de/romani-rose-zum-begriff-antiziganismus/
