The post from @AssembleeNat discusses a live session at the French National Assembly where they are addressing violence in the music industry, specifically through the initiative #MusicToo. This movement, inspired by #MeToo, aims to expose and combat sexism and various forms of violence within the music sector. The session includes voices like those of Suzanne Combeaud, Charlotte Cegarra, and Emily Gonneau, who is known for founding "Change de disque," an organization dedicated to advocating for change in the music industry. The hashtag #MusicToo was created to raise awareness about these issues, similar to how #MeToo did for other sectors. This assembly hearing signifies a step towards recognizing and addressing the challenges faced by women and other marginalized groups in the music industry, pushing for systemic changes to ensure safety and equality.
