Abstract
The media industry has an unprecedented influence on how entire societies perpetuate gender inequality, from discriminatory norms and stereotypes to the normalization of violence against girls. On the other hand, media reporting also has the immense potential to combat the root causes of violence against women and girls, promote positive social and gender norms, and support risk mitigation through the provision of essential information to survivors, victims and those who wish to support them. In this report and accompanying recording below, we take a look at the evidence for both.
