Objectification of women in the media hinders gender equality – NCPE
June 8, 2016
The National Commission for the Promotion of Equality (NCPE) today expressed its concern with regards to the objectification of women’s bodies in the media, including online media. Over the past months, the Commission has received a number of objections from the public with regards to videos and statements that depict women in an over-sexualised manner and reinforce negative gender stereotypes in society.
NCPE condemned these representations and stresses that those involved in the media should refrain from issuing material which objectifies and sexualises women and girls. The pervasive sexualisation of women and girls in media representations reinforces the stereotype that a woman’s value is determined by her physical appearance and that woman’s primary role is that of pleasing men. This correlates with unequal relations in society and has a direct adverse impact on women’s equal participation in all spheres of life as well as sexual harassment.
NCPE said it works towards gender equality and respect and dignity for all persons.

Resolução:
A NCPE está preocupada como a objetificação do corpo das mulheres na mídia, incluindo as mídias sociais. Ao longo dos últimos meses, a Comissão tem recebido várias críticas do público com relação aos vídeos e afirmações que retratam as mulheres de uma maneira sexualizada ao extremo e que reforçam os estereótipos de gênero negativos na sociedade.
