The Role of Media and Communication in Combating Violence Against Women: An Integrated Legal and Media Perspective

Abstract

Media is one of the most powerful tools that contribute to shaping social and cultural awareness. It plays a key role in highlighting women's issues and enhancing their status in society. With the evolution of traditional and digital media, women have gained an increasing presence in the media landscape, whether as content consumers or creators. However, this presence still faces many challenges, ranging from stereotypical portrayals of women in some media outlets to the underrepresentation of women in media decision-making positions.
