About The Representation Project
The Representation Project uses films, activism and education to challenge harmful gender norms and stereotypes, fight the limited narrative and transform storytelling.
Through films, they illustrate that the media we consume can change our lives and the way we see the world. For example, their documentary film Miss Representation shows that by promoting a sexist image of women, the media foster inequality and inhibit leadership. Another of their films, The Mask You Live In, reveals the way rigid and toxic masculine ideals harm boys, men and society.
Explore their educational resources and check their online campaigns (#NotBuyingItT #AskHerMore #RespectHerGame) to advance justice.
