About Trygt Rum
The Trygt Rum network consists of 15 organisations from the music industry with a common desire to prevent abusive behaviour and promote a considerate and professional working environment.
The Trygt Rum network will make it easier for everyone to navigate safely and with dignity in an industry where the boundary between the professional and the private often flows together.
The Trygt Rum network works to facilitate positive change. Through knowledge and concrete tools, the network will create better conditions and increased security in the music industry. The first step has been to give the people who have been exposed to abusive behavior a place to talk about their experiences. That is why the network opened the Trygt Rum telephone line in 2023.
The helpline is an independent body that handles anonymous calls from anyone who works in the music and culture industry and has been exposed to or is witnessing border-crossing behaviour, sexual harassment, sexual violations or is in doubt about it. The function of counseling is to relieve, clarify and refer.
The Trygt Rum telephone line offers a conversation that can create clarity about what has happened, process reactions and, with the help of professional knowledge, refer to the right options for action, such as the police, health services and professional organisations.

In 2021, the organisations Autor, Dansk Artist Forbund (Danish Artists’ Union), Dansk Musik Forbund, Dansk Komponistforening (Danish Composer’s Society), DPA and Musikforlæggerne/MPA Denmark have joined forces and created ten common goals to ensure greater equality in the music industry. The goals align with the UN’s fifth global goal on gender equality.
On International Women’s Day in 2022, the music organisations created an eleventh goal that focuses on tackling structural sexism. The additional goal has resulted in the creation of the hotline Trygt Rum and states the following: “in 2030, the music industry is fighting structural sexism, and both people within the industry and audiences have access to an advisory body that deals with examples of sexist behaviour.”
