Awareness-raising campaign and expert database
The campaign is conducted by means of a database and a brochure. The aim of the database is creating a non-stereotypical image of women (also immigrants, people with disabilities, transgender people and poor people) in the media. These target groups don't appear enough in the media, and when they do it's not about their expertise but too often about their 'belonging' to these target groups.
