Dr. Anju Gupta's document discusses how media perpetuates violence against women in several ways. Media serves as a vehicle for misogynistic threats and harassment online, with almost three quarters of women experiencing some form of cyber violence. News coverage of violence against women is often sensationalized and exploitative, retraumatizing victims. Media also politicizes and sensationalizes issues of violence against women. Some media presentations can constitute acts of violence by defaming or publishing obscene materials about women. Media further desensitizes society to domestic violence by normalizing it in comedy, language, and advertisements. It assigns indirect female aggression as a vehicle of power by disguising it as female empowerment.
