Gender inequality is also a problem in media organisations, themselves. Men still occupy three quarters of top media management positions, according to a global study spanning 522 news media organisations5. In Australia, female journalists wrote nearly 80 per cent of celebrity and royal family stories in 2019, but only 12 per cent of sport stories.6
As places where many adults spend large amounts of their time, workplaces also play an important role in shaping attitudes towards gender equality and addressing the drivers of violence against women.7
