To mark International Women’s Day 2021, SOCAN and SOCAN Foundation have released a video that features conversations about gender equality issues that women continue to face in the music community, and emerging and potential solutions to close the gender gap.

It presents the experiences of female-identifying creators and industry professionals, including SOCAN’s Interim CEO Jennifer Brown; SOCAN member singer-songwriters Desirée Dawson and La Bronze; and Charlie Wall-Andrews, Executive Director, SOCAN Foundation.

International Women’s Day can be traced back to the early 1900s. The event is now recognized annually on March 8th, and has been celebrated in recent years with thousands of rallies and events worldwide.
