What is the image of women in popular media? This question serves as a red thread on “Pop Models” and comes in seven clips, seven analyses… and seven questions. How are women represented in advertisements? What role do they play in war cinema? What clichés trivialize rape culture? How do Disney princesses testify on gender relations and its evolution? How does Hollywood prioritize lead female characters? Does the use of male or female avatars modify the experience of online video gaming? How can sexist hip-hop clichés be reappropriated by female artists? Many questions have showed how masculine society imposes itself in diverse media and is fueled by many clichés and stereotypes about women. “Pop Models” has produced a reflection on the media’s stigmatization of women in order to try to contribute to the evolution of gender relations. |

The 51 Percent (#The51percent) is an online news magazine program by France 24 that looks at women who are overcoming discrimination and bias to reshape the world.

The underlying logic is that heightened identification strengthens the tendency to show solidarity with women, to value their accomplishments and, in consequence, to promote gender equality as a fundamental human right. |

| Gender Gap Tracker big data monitoring tool |
Researchers at Simon Fraser University collaborated with the Canadian non profit advocacy group, Informed Opinions (previously MediaWatch) to create an online tool that scrapes data from influential Canadian news sites to measure, in real time, the ratio of male to female sources quoted and interviewed. The Gender Gap Tracker visualizes the data in both aggregate and comparative graphs that are updated daily. Informed Opinions promotes public awareness of the Gender Gap Tracker and encourages news consumers to let the monitored newsrooms and journalists know that they care and expect more representative practice. Since it's launch in February 2019, the Gender Gap Tracker appears to have helped motivate a 4% increase in women's voices. |

| ORF Frauen Task Force |
In 2011 Austria’s national broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), investigated the position of women in its organisation and found a widespread gender imbalance. While women make up 42% of its workforce, they are concentrated in programme-making rather than in technical positions. In higher management there are very few women, with only 11% of regional studio directors and 22% of central heads of department. There were no women at all on the executive board. Conversely, they made up two-thirds of part-time employees. To address this situation, in 2012 the ORF introduced a six-year gender equality plan. It aimed to promote gender equality and women’s careers, to abolish existing discriminations, to enable reconciliation of family and work for women and men, to achieve a share of 45% of women in those areas where women are underrepresented, and to increase women’s share in technical professions. The plan’s implementation was monitored every year and discussed by the Gender Equality Commission, Central Works Council and all employees. |

| Free the Work |
Free the Work is a online web platform which is a talent agency for women and other under-represented creatives. It has evolved from an earlier intiative called Free the Bid. The Free The Bid pledge prompted brands and their agencies to include at least one woman among the three directors bidding for every commercial job. These commitments led to measurable increases in the number of women creators considered and hired for major ads. Free the Work has expanded the scope to include other media industries which employ creatives. |

In addition, the survey gathered data regarding sexual violence, physical violence, sexual harassment, and information security threats experienced by women journalists as well as what measures have been taken for prevention, protection and preparedness within news organizations. |

| PAR Periodistas de Argentina en Red - Por una comunicación no sexista |
La Red PAR reúne a más de 110 periodistas, comunicadoras y comunicadores de todo el país que ejercemos nuestra profesión con un enfoque de género. Conformamos un colectivo que, sin personería jurídica ni fines de lucro, se organiza horizontal y democráticamente para promover un ejercicio responsable y respetuoso de derechos sin discriminación por géneros. Para ello se propone distintas estrategias de incidencia en ámbitos comunicacionales, sociales, educativos, barriales, legislativos y jurídicos, para la prevención de la violencia de género bajo todas sus formas, y por la responsabilidad desde la comunicación. Los encuentros anuales de nuestra Red se han consolidado como la instancia más genuina y significativa para la reflexión y el debate, la actualización de las agendas de trabajo y el análisis de las realidades de las mujeres en los medios de comunicación, entre otros temas. Como resultado del trabajo en red se han producido materiales de incidencia para el campo profesional que se han convertido en material de consulta ineludible en redacciones periodísticas, en las universidades y en talleres de sensibilización sobre la temática, a la hora de pensar el ejercicio profesional de la comunicación con mirada de géneros: el Decálogo para el tratamiento periodístico de la violencia contra las mujeres y el Decálogo para el tratamiento periodístico de la trata y la explotación sexual. |

| Decálogo para el tratamiento periodístico de la trata y la explotación sexual |
La trata de personas con fines de explotación sexual es un delito enquistado en la sociedad desde hace mucho tiempo, que representa una gravìsima violación de los derechos humanos. Las principales vìctimas son las mujeres, ya sean niñas, adolescentes o adultas, y es por eso que el delito constituye una forma extrema de la violencia de género. PAR elaboró y publicó en 2008 la primera edición del Decàlogo para el tratamiento periodìstico de la violencia contra las mujeres, que ha sido reeditado en 2010, traducido a diversos idiomas y difundido en varios paìses a través de redes e instituciones de comunicación y periodismo. Este trabajo colectivo desea ser una herramienta de ayuda en la bùsqueda, producción y puesta en circulación de la información. |
