Did you know male characters outnumber female characters 2:1 in film? Male characters speak twice as much as females too.

Media had the power to shape how society views and values girls #EqualRepresentation

If she sees it, she will be it. #RewriteHerStory #GirlsGetEqual

Our research released today with @GDIGM shows a worrying lack of women leaders in popular films. 😟

No wonder when so few women are directing , producing and writing them!

Women are being silenced, sexualised and side-lined on screen. Top films are sending the
message to girls that leadership is for men.

Our new research with @PlanGlobal shows we must take action!

"It's an honour just to be nominated," no woman director will say at the #Oscars this year.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This reinforces lazy tropes about women leaders in media:
- Older + seasoned, but unlikeable
- Passionate, but angry
- Smart, but crazy
- Well-intentioned, but naive
- Attractive, but uninformed or gaffe-prone

It’s unoriginal, lazy, and men don’t get the same either/or coverage.

"أولادكم ليسوا لكم
أولادكم أبناء الحياة المشتاقه إلى نفسها. بكم يأتون إلى العالم، ولكن ليس منكم.
ومع أنهم يعيشون معكم فهم ليسوا ملكاً لكم.
أنتم تستطيعون أن تمنحوهم محبتكم، ولكنكم لا تقدرون أن تغرسوا فيهم بذور أفكاركم، لأن لهم أفكارًا خاصة بهم."
