End to Sexism in Media

“Page three girl” in papers, “Victim” or “Monster” in women’s talk shows, “Selfless Mother”, “Good girl” or “Femme-fatale” in TV serials, Wrapped in “Flag” or “Veil” on politics pages, and generally “Backstage” and “Invisible”... Saying, “Enough is enough!” Women’s Media Watch Group (MEDİZ) has launched the campaign,”End to Sexism in Media” which will last until 25 May.

One of the activities of the campaign is a conference titled, “For Nonsexist Media” to be held at Istanbul Bilgi University-Dolapdere Campus on 3-4 May.

It is possible to follow the campaign and make a contribution on the web page: www.mediz.org
