A woman in the plumbing courses in Likika, Timor-Leshti. Women make up half of the population of the world, but appear only in a quarter of the news Women Women appear only in 26 percent of all news television programs, radio programs and printed materials. Three decades after the countries pledged to conduct transforming changes in relation to women in the Beijing Declaration, a new global study showed that women remain almost invisible in the world news. 62 ~ The last production of the global media monitoring project (GMMP), prepared by the International Human Rights Organization in the field of communications & NBSP; WACC, with the support of the UN-Woman structure, is the most large-scale study of the gender situation in the media. Experts emphasize that women make up half of the population of the world, but at the same time – only a quarter of those whom we see, hear or whom we read about in the news. This statistics have not changed much over the past 15 years. At the same time, the topic of gender violence practically does not fall into the news. Less than two percent of all news materials illuminate the violence that women are subjected to. And only two percent of the materials openly challenged stereotypes. Thus, the news media prevents the movement in the direction of gender equality and only strengthen existing prejudices. ~ 60 > journalistic materials, opposing gender stereotypes, are now at the lowest level in three decades. “Authoritative” voices in news materials still mainly belong to men. Women are more often quoted as eyewitnesses acting with personal evidence, and not as experts in a particular area, no matter what their qualifications are. ~ 60 > Radical rethinking is necessary so that the media can play a role in the promotion equality 60 ~/blockquote >~ 60 > “media reflect reality and play a most important role in democracy and equal and equal world for all women and girls,” said Kirsi Madi, deputy executive director of the structure “UN-female”. “In the conditions of today’s opposition to gender equality, the results [research] are simultaneously an alarming signal and calling for action. A radical rethinking is necessary so that the media can play a role in promoting equality, ”she added. 60 > in the study it also notes that progress is observed in some areas. For example, 41 percent of the authors of news articles are now women. For comparison in 1995, there were only 28 percent of them. The growth of this indicator is of the most important importance for promoting gender equality, since the materials published by women-journalists more often appear in the heroine of the female manner than in the plots published by men. ~ 60 >~ 60 > “Thirty years of data testify to deep-rooted stereotypes, and the need for the need radically change our strategies in the direction of more inclusive and representative journalism, ”said Sarah Macharia, the head of the expert group & nbsp; gmmp. ~ ~ > results of the 2025 study shed light on severe reality, stagnantly staged, stagnated And the negative reaction to its promotion is gaining momentum. & nbsp; ~ 60 > “women and girls deserve to be presented in the media, and for their stories to be heard. Responsibility to make equality a reality lies with governments, editors and politicians, ”said Madi. & Amp; nbsp;
