Irish DJ says women have to ‘constantly fight for their own rights when it comes to being safe’ while working in music

“And I think that, coupled with having a very tight and protective female management team for most of my career, has really meant that I haven’t gone through anything traumatic with regards to misogyny,” the 45-year-old said.

“I look back and think ‘that was so silly’, but you’re in a situation where you are not in a position to afford a tour manager.“There is a huge surge of young DJs coming through, female DJs which is amazing … [but] it is really unregulated at the moment for young female DJs. “There is no understanding that it is not safe for a woman to travel home at that time of night – they have to constantly fight for their own rights when it comes to being safe.”

“I feel like there is a lot of revelations that have not been exposed, it is infuriating the amount of women who have stories of sexual assault who have buried them and carried them.“If one person were to speak that had enough of a profile where it got media attention, I think there could be a kind of a tidal wave, definitely.”
