Media and education
C. whereas gender discrimination in the media and advertising is still frequent and facilitates
the reproduction of gender stereotypes;
D. whereas children are confronted with gender stereotypes at a very young age through
television series, television advertisements, study materials and educational programmes,
influencing their perception of how male and female characters should behave;
Education and media
4. Stresses the need for special career guidance courses in primary and secondary schools
and higher education institutions, in order to inform young people about the negative
consequences of gender stereotypes and encourage them to study for and embark on
careers that have in the past been considered as typically ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’; asks
that support be provided for any action aimed at reducing the prevalence of gender
stereotypes among young children;
5. Draws attention to the fact that gender stereotypes in advertising during children’s
television programmes are a particular problem, as they have a potential impact on gender
socialisation and, subsequently, children’s views of themselves, their family members and
the outside world, and stresses the importance of reducing children’s exposure to gender
stereotypes from the earliest possible age;
6. Stresses the need to run special courses on gender stereotypes in the media for national
advertising standards committees and self-regulatory bodies so as to raise awareness of
the negative influence of gender-discriminatory images on television and in marketing and
advertising campaigns;
