Media Literacy – The Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation Media Literacy Nicole Baran 2024-08-08T21:55:09+00:00 The Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation believes that teaching media literacy to children will help them understand and challenge the objectification of women and gender-expansive individuals and the limiting gender stereotypes that are present in the media.
In addition to harmful stereotypes, lack of representation in mainstream media also contributes to the oppression of women and gender-expansive people of color. According to the Representation Project: “Studies prove exposure to sexually explicit video games and music videos is linked to men’s acceptance of rape myths and sexual harassment.
” The Foundation believes in educating people about the underrepresentation of women and gender-expansive individuals of all races, ethnicities, body sizes, and sexual orientations in the media.
Until these negative stereotypes are no longer present in the media, the Foundation believes that it is essential to support organizations dedicated to exposing the harmful messages in the media, starting active dialogues, increasing awareness, and encouraging activism about women’s and gender-expansive people’s representation.
We envision supporting nonprofit organizations or nonprofit schools that run programs that provide training resources, or tools that focus on reducing the objectification of women and gender-expansive people, and the perpetuation of gender stereotypes in the media.
We look for organizations working to change the negative representations of women and gender-expansive individuals in the media that contribute to inequities and gender-based violence. Funds may be applied to model, promising, or start-up programs.
