The media is the message and the messenger in today’s world and it’s no doubt that it is increasingly a powerful one. If you will search proper databases you will find that by the age of 10, a young girl will watch an average of 31 hours of television a week and join other women around the country in comprising 52% of the movie-going population.

The media has been associated with causing young girls to have poor body images, exposing them to limited career options, and accepting inferior status to men.

1. IIMM promotes media equality on gender
The media is the message and the messenger in today’s world and it’s no doubt that it is increasingly a
powerful one. If you will search proper databases you will find that by the age of 10, a young girl will
watch an average of 31 hours of television a week and join other women around the country in
comprising 52% of the movie-going population. Media always doesn’t have a blissful image; sometimes
the media’s influence on young women has yielded many negative consequences. The media has been
associated with causing young girls to have poor body images, exposing them to limited career options,
and accepting inferior status to men. IIMM is an institute for media and as a pioneer education facility
we encourage our students to be more unisexual rather than be pro-men or pro-women.
