You’re invited to come along to this special screening of the documentary film Miss Representation.

Challenging limited and demeaning depictions of women

We all know that the media is powerful. But have you ever considered exactly how much influence the media has on how we view women today? In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. How and why should we change this?

Join the global campaign

If you missed the first screening of Miss Representation in Sydney in September last year, don’t despair – we’re bringing it back for a return screening!

The film explores how the media’s misrepresentations of women have led to the under representation of women in positions of power and influence, and premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
