Context

EU Parliament–commissioned study reviewing the European policy agenda on gender equality in the media sector, covering both media content and the media workforce.

Objectives

To map EU and Member-State-level actions promoting gender equality in media, and to review existing research on women's representation in media content and the media workforce.
