Where were the women of colour?
In July 2024, we asked Where were the women of colour? in relation to media coverage of the UK General Election. In a recent webinar with our partners Pass the Mic Scotland and the University of Strathclyde, we explored our collaboration to monitor the representation of women of colour in the media.
Passing the Mic? An analysis of women of colour in the 2024 UK General Election coverage
Pass the Mic Scotland and the University of Strathclyde previously collaborated with Engender as part of the Gender Equal Media Scotland (GEMS) project to analyse the representation of women of colour over the course of nine days of Scottish news media, during the Scottish Parliamentary elections in May 2021. This research found that only 2.1% of all people in the news were women of colour.
