The Olympic Games kicked off in Tokyo, Japan on July 23, bringing together world athletes and sports reporters from around the globe. On the occasion of the opening ceremony, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) made a call, signed by GE, to sports federations, media organizations, journalists and unions to eradicate sexism in sport.

“Women journalists are willing to report on sports, but many are subject to discrimination and few have access to leadership roles in this sector” said María Ángeles Samperio, president of the IFJ Gender Council and the GE Secretariat. “The treatment of women sports journalists by the media mirrors that of female athletes by sports federations, and it has to stop. We need inclusive sports reporting, equal treatment for all sports journalists and no more sexism in sports.” .

Los Juegos Olímpicos se iniciaron en Tokio, Japón, el 23 de julio, reuniendo a atletas mundiales y reporteros deportivos de todo el planeta. Con motivo de la ceremonia de apertura, la Federación Internacional de Periodistas (FIP) hizo  una  llamada, que suscribe GE, a las federaciones deportivas, organizaciones de medios, periodistas y sindicatos para erradicar el sexismo en el deporte.

“Las mujeres periodistas están dispuestas a informar sobre deportes, pero muchas están sujetas a discriminación y pocas tienen acceso a roles de liderazgo en este sector “, dijo María Ángeles Samperio, presidenta del Consejo de Género de la FIP y del Secretariado de GE. ” El tratamiento de las mujeres periodistas deportivas por los medios de comunicación refleja el de las atletas femeninas por las federaciones deportivas, y tiene que parar. Necesitamos reportajes deportivos inclusivos, igualdad de trato para todos los periodistas deportivos y no más sexismo en los deportes”.

São agora conhecidos os dados do GMMP – Global Media Monitoring Project de 2020. Dados referentes a um ano extremamente exigente a diversos níveis, sobretudo por causa da pandemia de COVID-19 e que deixou as mulheres numa situação de maior vulnerabilidade social.

Também nos media a nível europeu os dados da monitorização mostram que persistem assimetrias de género quer nos meios tradicionais quer nas plataformas digitais e que as mudanças são muito reduzidas. As mulheres aparecem pouco como fontes ou sujeitos das notícias (28% e em 2015 eram 25%) e muito associadas a temas de género, os quais têm pouca visibilidade mediática.

El Proyecto de Monitoreo Global de Medios (GMMP) es la investigación más extensa y de mayor duración del mundo sobre género en los medios de comunicación. Nació en 1995 a iniciativa de la sección J de la Plataforma de Acción de Beijing para llevar la cuestión de la responsabilidad de los medios a la vanguardia de los debates en torno a las desigualdades de género.

GE urges to act against femicides in Europe

The European chapter of the Global Alliance for the Media and Gender (GAMAG Europe, GE), observes with great concern the new outbreak of sexist aggressions which has resulted in deaths and violence towards children, including murders, to “punish” their mothers. The tragic events that took place recently in Spain are a proof of this. The number of victims – which already exceeds 20 murders in the first six months of the year – is increasing so rapidly that the sum that we publish here today could unfortunately increase in a short period of time. This figure is swollen by women of all ages and backgrounds: urban and rural, workers and professionals, peasants and housewives, young and old. There are also journalists, such as the photojournalist murdered in Marmolejo (Jaén, Spain).
