Women make up half the world yet are quoted in only 24 percent of news stories and just 20 percent of expert sources. Media often frames women as victims or sidelines their perspectives, even in coverage of gender-based violence. When women report and edit, stories challenge stereotypes and offer fuller context. Including more women in newsrooms and leadership leads to richer, more representative journalism.
