Abstract:

Statistics around the way women are portrayed in the media reflect a dismal story. In 1995 women made up 17% of news subjects, five years later the Global Media Monitoring Project 200, which involved teams collecting data across the world, revealed that this figure increased to only 18%. This was despite considerable intervention, including the adoption of the Beijing Platform of Action.
