Media, Masculinity, and Ending Gender Violence | Perth News
Description
Four women and girls killed in just four days by men they knew has sparked a national reckoning. Activists blast media for sensational headlines that dehumanize victims, especially after charges were dropped in a teen’s death. Experts warn such reporting fuels gender-based violence, urging journalists to adopt more sensitive language. The conversation also turns to masculinity, with calls for education and positive role models to curb violence rooted in toxic norms. Australia’s Royal Commission is pushing for national media standards on reporting domestic violence, with federal action underway. Ending this crisis demands collective action — from policy to personal responsibility — to challenge discrimination and build respect.
