Short description | This observatory intends to draw the attention of both the population and the producers of media discourse to the constant creation of representations that show and reinforce gender asymmetries, with women generally being shown associated with restrictive social roles, still much too tied to the private sphere, solidifying the centuries-old dominating dichotomies between the public and the private. |
