This South African DJ Is Creating a List of Toxic Men in the Industry She Won't Work With

DJ ANG is taking a stand against sexual harassment in the music industry by calling out toxic artists.

August is Women's Month in South Africa, and women around the country are using the opportunity to stand up against femicide, gender violence and sexual harassment on a national level.

There are many ways to protest, and South African DJ and head of SheSaidSo South Africa, Angela Weickl, also known as ANG is carrying out her own demonstration against sexual harassment in the music industry by calling toxic artists out by name and refusing to work alongside them.

"I will be including a list in every booking agreement from now onwards," the artist wrote on Facebook. "This list will be of artists who I refuse to be on a line up with due to their toxic and harmful behaviour. I will not share the spaces where we work to promote diversity, inclusion and safety, with people who harm and disrespect us. If a venue or promoter cannot understand my choice, then I choose not to associate with them."

The artist plans to share the list with others and tells Texx and the City, that she's urging any other women and LGBTQ individuals who have been forced to work with perpetrators of sexual harassment in the music scene, to share their stories and contribute to the list.

South African women continue to take a bold stand against gender violence in their country, where femicide rates are amongst the highest in the world. At the start of the month thousands of South African women gathered across the nation for the #TotalShutDown march against gender-based violence.
