Problems of women in media.........

For a long time there was male dominance in the media field. no one was ready to encourage women in this field. people think that  some fields such as media, sports, politics and etc... are only for male society. they labeled on these fields as only for male.

but now most of the women work as journalist in everywhere. still women need to fight and raise their voice to get the equality with male society. there are many successful women in media field, but we can't say every women have the same situation in their working places. the society of Journalism should take action against to the gender discrimination in their institute.

IFJ ( international Federation of Journalists) did a research on women in journalism with considering three things such as 

• statics : participation of women in journalism
• wage     :wage for the men and women who are  in the same power
• Representation  of women

Throughout this research  the association found that the status of women in media was very bias to the male society. According to the results, in the higher position they could find more unequal between male and female. So, women who are in the low position have less power. So women continuously face the problems.

Women should participate and give valuable comments on the social issues. Every woman should think about their problems and find how to overcome from them.

Achieving the higher position in the media world- this is the very big problem among the women society in media.

The promotion should be decided by the talent, experience, ability, and strength not by the gender. Every institution should follow this way. The changes should raise in every one’s mind.

Open interview is the best way to select the person to the higher posts, in the selection panel should include men and women.

Most of the women resigned their job in media, because the way of the promotion is blocked by the male society, then women were under frustration and leaving from their jobs. Other than this there are some reasons such as sexual abuses, wage differences and the ideologies of women in the society for the withdrawal of women in media.

The law and order of the institute, family structure and expectations are sometimes consider as barriers to the women in media.

Media institutions should understand the women’s problem in work place and tries to help them. The family support is very essential to women especially in this field.

Media, government, organizations and etc .. have to offer training to the women in the media. The government has to introduce some workshops on journalism for the youths.

The organizations and government should award the talented and capable women in media.

Media institutions should concentrate on the sexual abuses in their institution. They should make sure of the protection of women from men.

Each and every one should take care of the rights of women not only in media  but in real world also…………………….
