Media coverage of violence against women from an intersectional lens

This research explores the enabling and constraining factors that influence the media portrayals of violence against women from an intersectional lens, tied to factors such as age, gender, race, sexuality and ability. It also identifies emerging trends, such as the rise of social influencers and participatory journalism, and evaluates their impact on audience perceptions. Examining the role of media professionals and citizens in violence against women prevention, this research provides a guiding light for Our Watch’s future engagements with media stakeholders in community-based education programs.
