The media have muted the voices of women during COVID-19: can the tide be turned?

The media have muted the voices of women during COVID-19: can the tide be turned? Journalists need to be sensitised to the need for gender representation in media content. Gallo Images/Getty Images Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey, Rhodes University COVID-19 has distressed societies to the core. Among the fault lines it has exposed is the fact that gender bias remains rampant in news coverage. A recent special report – The Missing Perspectives of Women in COVID-19 News – shows that too few women experts have been quoted on the pandemic in the media. The study looked at South Africa, Kenya, India, Nigeria, the US and the UK.

Three women: stories of Indian trafficked brides

Three women: stories of Indian trafficked brides Cornfield/Shutterstock.com Sreya Banerjea, SOAS, University of London “I tried to escape in the middle of the night,” Mahira* recalled. “With a small packed bag, I tiptoed towards the door thinking that he was asleep. Suddenly, he grabbed me from behind and attacked with a cutlass.” I sat, stunned, as she lifted her saree and revealed a wide scar below her knee. In north India, there is a particular history of purchasing brides from other states due to the “male marriage squeeze”: there is an excess of eligible men but not enough local women for marriage. This is caused by an imbalanced child sex ratio caused by sex-selective abortion and female foeticide. A recent study found that selective a...

Pauses in the busy lives of migrant Indian women can make a big difference

Pauses in the busy lives of migrant Indian women can make a big difference SriPallavi Nadimpalli, University of Melbourne and Iderlina Mateo-Babiano, University of Melbourne Women manage many overlapping responsibilities in both public and private spheres. Their busy routines leave them with just a little time to take a break or a pause in their activity.

Interviews were conducted with 20 migrant women (mostly migrants from rural areas) in Hyderabad, India, and 19 Indian migrants in Melbourne, Australia, as part of doctoral research.

Women leaders and coronavirus: look beyond stereotypes to find the secret of their success

Women leaders and coronavirus: look beyond stereotypes to find the secret of their success Kate Maclean, Northumbria University, Newcastle Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, Tsai Ing-Wen of Taiwan and Angela Merkel of Germany have all been singled out for the way they have handled the coronavirus pandemic.
