MediaWatch argues that the ‘sex-role portrayal’ frame for media self-regulation is
mistitled, archaic and out of date, especially in light of the recent trend of concern in Canada with the negative portrayal of men. (...) Codes should be re-titled “gender portrayal codes”. The legal frame needs to shift to human rights and away from portrayal issues which are weak and rely on interpretation. (...) • Is ‘undue exploitation’ solid ground to determine the basis for intervention?

It was noted that an increase in the number of women in media professions had not necessarily led to a less sexist or stereotyped portrayal of women in the media. New strategies were needed to increase awareness among all media professionals to change the images of women conveyed by the media, as well as to improve media content. (...) Participants called for the collection of data disaggregated by sex on the use of and access to ICT and the media in order to create a solid basis for informed policy- making. Apart from quantitative data, qualitative gender-specific indicators on various aspects of ICT use, access and dissemination, as well as on women’s information needs, had to be compiled so that targeted responses could be developed. (...) Awards for positive, non-sexist portrayals of women in the media were seen as an excellent incentive, but measures were also needed to ensure institutional adherence to non-sexist portrayals within media organizations.

States' efforts to combat violence against women; the trafficking of women and children;

the gender wage gap; linking the Beijing process with other international processes for
the advancement of women; accessing reliable and relevant sex-disaggregated data; and
continuing stereotyped portrayal of women in the media.
