Notes:	"Over forty years since the first Council Directives on equal pay and equal treatment at work for women and men, European media industries are still characterised by a significant gender pay gap, gender-based discrimination, and sexual harassment. Across Europe, and across media types, women remain significantly under-represented in the media workforce, particularly at decision-making levels. This is, in turn, associated with the production and distribution of media content that reflects and expresses the gender inequality present in the media workforce and wider society. Not only are women less visible overall in media content but, when present, their portrayals too often conform to sexist tropes. Women are, still, commonly framed in stereotypical (home- and family-focused), sexualised, or auxiliary roles, and as less authoritative, capable, and serious than men, which fails to reflect the reality of women's diverse lives and contributions to society."
