The Representation Project advocates for women


The Representation Project is a movement that uses film and media content to expose injustices created by gender stereotypes and to shift people's consciousness towards change.
This brisk, compelling video by The Representation Project advocates for respectful portrayals of women in the media.  It balances positive (advances) with negative (retreats), offers facts without sidling into nerdy-hood, and finishes with a call to action.  So while there is truth to sex sells, and women are often objects of that principle, I encourage you to reflect on your own promotional aims, attitudes and videos, and work to keep it free of sexism.
