“Miss Representation”

“Miss Representation” refers to the way women are often portrayed in media, including television, movies, and advertising. It highlights how these representations can reinforce stereotypes, sexualize women, and diminish their roles in society. The term emphasizes that such portrayals can lead to limited opportunities and a narrow understanding of women's capabilities and contributions. The documentary “Miss Representation” (2011) explores these issues, aiming to raise awareness about the impact of media on gender equality and advocating for more accurate, diverse, and empowering representations of women in all forms of media.
