Influence of Media to Gender Inequalities

 RE-ENFORCING STEREOTYPES

  1. Underrepresentation- women and non-binary folks are often outnumbered by men on social media particularly in leadership position.
  2. Stereotypical Portrayals - Social media feeds can be filled with content that reinforces traditional fender roles.
  3. Gender Bias - Algorithms and targeted advertising can perpetuate stereotypes.  CREATING SPACE FOR CHANGE
  4. Diversity of Voice - Social media allows marginalized genders to share their stories and challenge stereotypes directly.
  5. Body Positivity Movements - Platforms can be a space to promote healthy body image and challenge unrealistic beauty standards.
  6. Social Movements: Hashtags and online communities can raise awareness about gender equality issues and mobilize action. PROGRESS AND CHALLENGESPositive Changes a) More female action heroes and protagonists defying stereotypes. Ex. If there is a superman there is also a superwoman. b) Increased diversity in media representation. c) Consumer demand for more inclusive advertising campaigns.  Challenges a) Underrepresentation of women in leadership roles in films and Tv. b) Limited portrayal of non-binary or gender-fluid identities. c) Persistence of unconscious bias in media production.
