Media Making Change website

The Media Making Change website shows how media can use its influence to change the culture and attitudes that drive violence against women.

As former Australian of the year Rosie Batty said, “the media is uniquely placed to stop violence before it starts”. 

The media can address widespread condoning of violence against women by reporting accurately, safely and respectfully. 

The media can also address gender inequality, gender stereotypes and disrespect towards women through their content and in their workplaces.
