We ❤️ GDIGM's fight to end gender disparity in the media.
of the Governor’s Awards, Davis cheered: “I’m really excited by our latest research, which shows that now, for the first time, we have reached gender parity in children’s television shows.”
Davis opined about the power of that parity when accepting the Humanitarian Award. “Think about how dramatically different our world would be,” she urged the audience, “if we hadn’t all grown up with these unconscious biases.” GDIGM has also been radically investing in new ways to combat bias. At the 2019 Power of Inclusion Summit, Davisthat GDIGM had partnered with Disney to pilot GF-IQ: Spellchecking Bias, a new machine-learning tool that could reveal any unconscious gender or racial biases in film projects before they have entered production.
One of the solutions she highlighted at the Governors Awards was also as easy as a text edit: “The quickest way to reach gender parity,” she declared, “is to go through your script that you’re going to make and cross out a bunch of first names of characters and make them female. With one stroke, you have created some non-stereotyped characters that might turn out to be more interesting now that they’ve had a gender swap.
It’s an easy fix for a massive problem. “There’s one category of gross gender inequality where the under-representation can change overnight: on-screen,” Davis concluded. “Let’s make this change happen right now.”
