Working together on a series of unique events, broadcasts, and competitions throughout March,
Pioneer DJ and
foundation.fm will honour the talented women in the music industry who constantly push against gender bias and boundaries and prove that equality should be commonplace. This new partnership aims to help erase the limits placed on women and non-binary community within the music industry and shine a light on their skills, which defy perceived limitations.
London-based
foundation.fm paves the way for people to create positive change and level the playing field when it comes to gender equality within the world of music. Broadcasting online, the station has a worldwide reach – making it the perfect platform to spread the message about International Women’s Day, a global day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while calling for gender parity.
