About the Event: Women make up only 28.3% of characters in family films, 38.9% in prime time programs, and 30.8% in children’s shows.  And when females do feature on screen, they are almost four times as likely as males to be shown in sexy attire.  In this public lecture, Madeline Di Nonno, CEO of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, will share research findings on global trends on how women are portrayed in the media, the social and cultural implications this can have, and the actions we can take to influence positive change.
