And nowhere is this more apparent than the media— whether it’s mainstream media, movies, songs or even advertisements. Every year from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day), institutions and groups across the world participate in activism against gender-based violence. To commemorate and participate in the 16-day global campaign, Feminism in India is running a campaign called #GBVInMedia, which analyses mainstream media’s reporting and representation of #GBV.
