Goals and Activities

The network was created to promote mutual support and communication, as well as a source of information about female artists involved in electronic music . It operates its own open source database on which female, transgender and non-binary DJs , musicians , producers, visual artists and label owners have registered, as well as a music sharing platform and two mailing lists. In addition, radio stations in Berlin, Vienna and Hamburg broadcast programs under the title female: pressure , and female: pressure club nights are held in European cities . Like Riot Grrrl , Ladyfest and Girls Rock Camp , female: pressure takes a stand against the discrimination of women in the music scene and wants to eliminate this inequality.

The Facts Survey has been published every two years since 2013 ; a data collection by means of which the gender proportions of those performing at important electronic music festivals and within the electronic music scene are recorded. Joint campaigns arose from the network, such as B. the Perspectives Festival to "draw attention to the ongoing under-representation of female musicians in club culture".

For International Women's Day 2016, the organization published an audio-visual compilation on Bandcamp , the proceeds of which went directly to the Kurdish women 's project Rojava's village for women project in Syria.
