Resources
Persistent and Nasty is a grassroots, intersectional feminist platform advocating for systemic change in the creative industries. While we work to raise awareness, challenge injustice, and support better industry practices through activism, community-building, and conversation, we are not an official body and we do not have the capacity to take on or investigate individual cases of harm or misconduct. What we can do is signpost you to trusted resources and organisations with the expertise and infrastructure to offer support, guidance, or advocacy. If you are navigating issues related to harassment, abuse of power, or other forms of mistreatment in the creative industries, we hope the links provided here offer a helpful starting point
