Dear Author,
Our EU project EPESEP (Equal Pay Equal Show Equal Pension) is now in its second year.
At the heart of the EU project is a study that sheds light on discrimination against women in the literary scene. This scientific study is carried out by FORBA carried out. Forba has designed an online questionnaire for female authors, which will be translated after the test run for partner organisations in Armenia, the Netherlands and Germany.
We warmly invite you to take part in our survey as part of the EU project EPESEP – Equal Pay, Equal Show, Equal Pension. The goal of this project is to better understand the social, economic, and public situation of women authors.
The BMKOES Gender Report 2024 confirms what many have long perceived and studies have already shown: women are structurally discriminated against in the literary sector. This is especially visible in the male overrepresentation among prestigious awards and decision-making positions. We want to investigate the deeper causes of these imbalances and document the actual working and living conditions of women writers – in order to develop meaningful solutions and a political agenda for equality.
Your participation will help make structural inequalities visible and support calls for real change – for fair pay, better visibility, and secure social protection in the literary field.
🕒 Duration: approx. 10 minutes
🔒 Anonymity: Your responses will remain strictly confidential.
About us: The ≠ig feminist authors collective is an independent advocacy group by and for feminist authors in Austria. We fight for equality, visibility, and better working conditions in literature, arts, and society.
Your participation makes a valuable contribution to advancing equality in the literary world. Thank you for your support and engagement!
