Media- part of the problem or solution
Violence against women is a violation of fundamental human rights. Many questions are asked whether media is part of the problem or part of the solution to addressing gender based violence. Media has often argued that they are just ‘a mirror of society’ in their reporting of gender based violence or any other issue and therefore are not activists. However media is a powerful tool which shapes public opinion and social discourse.
