SAAM is partnering with YWCA Metro Vancouver to offer a FREE screening of Miss Representation, the award-winning documentary film that exposes how mainstream media contributes to the under representation of women in positions of power and influence and how the degradation of women through the media leads to the sexualization of women and girls. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman or girl to feel powerful herself. The film screening will be followed by an interactive panel discussion about issues of gender inequality.
Our Panelists:
Chantelle Krish, Manager of Advocacy and Public Relations at YWCA Metro Vancouver
Angela Marie MacDougall, Executive Director at Battered Women’s Support Services
Amanda Reaume, Associate Director of Advancement in the Dean of Science for Simon Fraser University
Seating is limited, so we encourage you to preregister for the free event tickets here.
