Under the Law of Ukraine “On Media,” one of the priority vectors of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine is ensuring gender equality in the media and protecting citizens of Ukraine against potential forms of discrimination, including genderbased discrimination.
In this regard, the National Council, together with civil society, particularly Women in Media NGO, started an important project on developing a gender profile of the Ukrainian media. This was done by means of a questionnaire. The research is based on data on 206 Ukrainian media with a total of 4,820 employees. It also includes analysis on gender equality in the media as an EU prospect.
This research was made possible thanks to the project “Network of gender think tanks: capacity development for advanced policy design, impact assessment, strategic advocacy, and specialized policy communications,” implemented by the Ukrainian Women’s Fund with the support of the European Union.
