4.10.4. Trends emphasised in Member States' reporting to the UNECE Many Member States report that women are portrayed in an unbalanced and stereotypical way in the media. They also report on the under-representation of women in the media at large and the problems concerning the sexualisation of society. Several activities intended to combat these problems are reported on. For instance, in some countries codes of conduct have been set up as a self-regulatory system (NL, LU). Belgium reports on the Flemish Authority's having set up a media database of expert women for journalists and media makers. Whenever they need an expert to comment upon an issue, this database could be consulted. Member States also report on Commissions for Equality that have given awards and prizes for journalists and filmmakers who have promoted gender equality in their work (EL, PO, PT). Other Member States report on Offices of Equal Opportunities Ombudsmen and Equal Opportunities Development Centres that have participated in radio and TV broadcasts promoting gender equality. In some MS, sport and the media have been targeted. In Lithuania, for instance, The Equal Opportunities Development Centre participated in the international project Women and Men in Sport and Media with the aim of exploring similarities and differences in the representation of women and men in sports, promoting change in the gendered stereotypes in sports, educating persons influential in the field of forming women's and men's image in sport, and developing training material for sport reporters, trainers and coaches on the representation of women and men in sports, etc. Many Member States report on seminars, round tables and research on the topic of media and gender. In Estonia and Latvia, for instance, research projects were initiated on the portrayal of women in the media, including female politicians. One of the main objectives of the projects was to raise awareness on the part of media practitioners, policy makers and general society regarding existing gender stereotypes that prevent full and equal representation of and participation by both sexes in decision-making. The Estonian Journalists Union's Female Editors Association was formed to promote co-operation between female journalists. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 116 ANNEX DG G EN
In Spain, a specific institute (Observatorio de la Imagen de las Mujeres) conducts yearly studies on advertisement and comes up with recommendations to publishers who disseminate discriminatory material on how to modify or change their campaigns in a more gender-sensitive way. In addition, several instruments have been enacted against the discriminatory portrayal of women in media, and a commission – La Comisión Asesora de la Imagen de las Mujeres en los Medios de Comunicación y la Publicidad [The Portrayal of Women in Mass Media and Advertisement] – has been set up. A Strategic plan for Gender Equality also lists five objectives in order to achieve gender equality within the field of media: the portrayal of women as active subjects, the proliferation of non-sexist pictures in mass media and advertisement, the promotion of role models, and assisting public and private media to live up to the goals listed in the gender equality law. In France, similarly, a Commission has been established to reflect on the portrayal of women in the media. Not only are women under-represented in the media, the French report notes, they are also frequently presented in a gender-stereotyped way. Legal enactments on the prohibition of advertisements with pornographic content or for services provided for the satisfaction of sexual desire, including prostitution, have been adopted in some MS (EE, LT). The training of journalists and communications experts is highlighted in many reports, including those from Hungary and Bulgaria. In the Finnish report, a training toolkit referred to as “Screening Gender” is a co- production between five public service broadcasting organisations in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Germany. This kit contains tools designed to provide insight into gender and gender portrayal on television. The materials can be used in a wide range of training contexts, for example in courses on various aspects of programme making (interviewing techniques, script and scenario writing, commentary, visual grammar, and so on), in seminars to raise awareness among decision-making groups and in discussions with trainers themselves in the hope of focusing on training themes and priorities.
