The sexualization of women in media is still a huge problem today, and its impact is far worse than what we could imagine or try to estimate.

The biased portrayal of women is the big reason why many people are still not taking women and their work seriously, whether is it in politics or in other professions.

The Representation Project uploaded this video on Youtube to garner support for their campaign, which aims to “use film and media content to expose injustices created by gender stereotypes and to shift people’s consciousness towards change.”
