RAMPA is born, the first open professional network for women in audiovisuals in Spain

This new directory was created to fight against the gender gap in the sector with the support of 41 associations and professional entities.

He Film Festival for Women has launched RAMP, the Open Network of Audiovisual Professional Women, and interactive, open and free information directory for contact and geographical location of audiovisual professionals and technicians (cinema / television / advertising / video games) who work throughout the Spanish territory.

This initiative has the support of 41 associations, federations and groups in the audiovisual sector. Among the collaborating entities of the project there are 24 state-level associations, 3 from Andalusia, 3 from the Canary Islands, 2 from Galicia, 3 from the Valencian Community, 2 from Catalonia, 2 from the Basque Country, one from the Region of Murcia and one from the Balearic Islands. Classified by area of ​​activity, RAMPA already has 17 entities that cover the entire audiovisual spectrum, 17 specialized in cinema, 3 in video games, 2 in advertising, one in television and one in extended reality.

RAMPA is thus emerging as a fundamental tool for promote professional specialization of women, favor their inclusion in the labor market in positions that are not feminized or that are exclusively service-related.

The platform aims to help "structure a very atomized sector on an equal basis, combat its historical discrimination, whether structural and/or diffuse, improve the conditions of visibility of women and increase their professional offer so that effective equality of opportunities between men and women occurs in a very disaggregated professional field that, in addition, suffers from notable sectoral fragmentation and great geographical dispersion. This problem is manifested in the visible dissemination of technical and territorial associations that have little contact with each other."

Until today, there was no open database in Spain that took into account all the professionals and technicians who participate in the different specialties anywhere in Spanish territory, whether in film, television, advertising or video games.

RAMPA was created to fill this gap by being a specific interactive directory that facilitates the search for women in the audiovisual field so that the different organizations, agencies, production companies, television networks, companies, entities and other structures in the industry from around the world can contact them and adopt positive action measures for the creation of female employment.

Through 37 categories and 285 job subcategories The directory allows you to find the profiles that best adapt to each audiovisual production and promote labor, cultural and artistic exchange between women in the audiovisual industry. Furthermore, this tool will favor the internationalization of women in the sector, since the proportion of filming by foreign companies and the development of co-productions increases constantly throughout the Spanish territory and in this way they will have a place to locate them.

Professional and technical women in the audiovisual sector who register as users, whether established or promising young people, can show their work by publishing their photographs, CV, contact, links to examples of previous work: clips, reels or demo reels, ratings and recommendations. In addition to promoting job creation, this professional hub will make it possible to collect real and reliable data on professional women in the sector.
