Women in media are individuals who participate in media. Media are the collective communication outlets or tools used to store and deliver information or data.^[1][2] The role of women in media revolves around the four axes of media: media freedom, media pluralism, media independence, and media safety.

Women in media face the same difficulties and threats as men, and additionally experience gender inequalities, safety issues, or under-representation.^[3] Compared to men, women are much less likely to be included in the media globally. According to research, a minimum of twenty-five percent of news on television, radio and in the press mention women as a topic. According to a 2015 survey, only 19% of news experts and 37% of reporters worldwide were women. The gender-imbalanced perspective of society has the potential to promote and perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes, as behavioral scientists study the underrepresentation of women in the workforce.^[4]
