As the year comes to a close, many are turning their gaze backwards to look at 2013 in review. Take a look at Miss Representation‘s feminist perspective of the highs and lows of the media in terms of gender equality:

While there were certainly some great things that happened this year for women in the media, the bad aspects simply aren’t changing. To join the fight, check out The Representation Project.

The Representation Project is a movement that uses film and media content to expose injustices created by gender stereotypes and to shift people’s consciousness towards change. Interactive campaigns, strategic partnerships and education initiatives inspire individuals and communities to challenge the status quo and ultimately transform culture so everyone, regardless of gender, race, class, age, or circumstance can fulfill their potential.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s film, Miss Representation, premiered to great acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011. In response to overwhelming public demand for ongoing education and social action in support of the message of the film, Newsom founded MissRepresentation.org in April 2011.

In late 2013, after two and a half years, MissRepresentation.org became The Representation Project, stepping into a new name and bolder agenda, one that requires all of us working together, girls and boys, women and men, to ensure equality and justice for all. As an organization, The Representation Project remains true to the message of Miss Representation that limiting stereotypes harm all of us and that women deserve a seat at the table. We take that commitment forward with us, as we tackle the biases that impact our larger society.
