OPEN LETTER REGARDING WRITING ON THE WALL WORKERS FROM THE CREATIVE & CULTURAL COMMUNITY

OPEN LETTER REGARDING WRITING ON THE WALL WORKERS FROM THE CREATIVE & CULTURAL COMMUNITY

We, the undersigned, are fully supportive of Writing on the Wall, its ethos and its work and want to see it prosper. Some of us have worked with them or spoken at their events over the past 25 years. We are very concerned to learn of the current position of four women of WoW who have raised concerns about their working environment. They are currently appealing a WoW decision not to uphold their collective grievances. We call upon the Trustees of WoW to use their best endeavours to bring about a fair and transparent resolution of this unacceptable situation.
