The media can use its influence to change the culture and attitudes that drive violence against women

What can the media do?
A woman with dark curly hair sitting next to a man on a sofa, they're watching TV. We see the backs of their heads as they speak to each other. They're watching a news program.

    Reporting on violence against women

    Woman at work on a TV set is wearing a headset, looking ahead just over the camera. A man operating filming equipment stands at her left, his image is cropped.

    Accurate, safe and respectful reporting on violence against women is the first step. The media can also help stop violence before it starts by challenging gender inequality and stereotypes.
