The media can address widespread condoning of violence against women by reporting accurately, safely and respectfully. The media can also address gender inequality, gender stereotypes and disrespect towards women through their content and in their workplaces.
The arts also offer opportunities to address the drivers of violence against women and promote equal and respectful relationships. This includes considering the way men and women, relationships and violence are represented creatively, as well as challenging norms that prevent women’s full and equal participation in creative industries, such as women’s under-representation and unequal pay.
