Robyn, Tove Lo, Zara Larsson, and First Aid Kit are among nearly 2000 Swedish women who have signed an open letter highlighting sexual abuse and harassment in their national music industry.
The letter was published by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter and includes a introductory message from the group alongside anonymous testimonies from some of the 1993 women who have put their names behind it. “We demand zero tolerance for sexual exploitation or violence. Sexual assault or violence will have consequences in terms of terminations of contracts,” it reads. “We will put shame back where it belongs—with the perpetrators and the people protecting them.”

Since the letter was published late last week male executives from major label groups Warner, Universal, and Sony have responded, Billboard reports.
