Violence against girls sensationalised in media

This media survey aims to compile and review cases of violence against girls as reported in selected national media.

One of the main objectives is to improve media treatment of violence against girls by encouraging analytical treatment rather than sensationalism. Figures for this quarter show that out of 195 articles listed in the 18 countries, only 32 were considered to be analytical.
