Media Watch is a national, volunteer feminist organization working to eliminate sexism in the media, by transforming the media environment from one in which women are either invisible or stereotyped, to one in which women are realistically portrayed and equitably represented in all our physical, economic, racial and cultural diversity. These changes are fundamental to altering the current social climate in which gender inequality and violence against women are pervasive. The organization promote change by educating media industries, government and the public, conducting research, and encouraging consumer advocacy. 3, record 1, English, - MediaWatch

The Equity Approach. Equity is the original "WID" [women in development] approach, introduced within the 1976-85 UN [United Nations] Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It recognizes women's triple role and seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention, giving political and economic autonomy to women, and reducing inequality with men. It challenges women's subordinate position, has been criticized as Western feminism, is considered threatening and is unpopular with governments. 2, record 4, English, - equity%20approach
