Communications, Culture & Society
Popular culture and communications have a powerful influence on how gender roles are perceived and stereotypes perpetuated across society. NCRW and its members uncover and counter misinformation providing context and analysis about the accuracy of how the daily lives, responsibilities and realities of women and girls are represented and interpreted in the media. Efforts are also focused on increasing opportunities for women commentators and opinion leaders to influence public perceptions and debate.
