“In this regard, it is important to address not only the representation of women on screen, but also the role of women behind the scenes in the production of television series and films. Female directors, producers and screenwriters often play a decisive role in ensuring more balanced representation, more diverse perspectives and richer storylines. Scenarios written by women also tend to create more substantial and leading roles for female actors. Gender equality in media is therefore not only a question of visibility, but also of access to creative power and editorial decision making. Supporting female talent at all levels of the audiovisual sector is essential to achieving more inclusive and realistic representations of women in society.”
