Exploitation of women in mass media

The exploitation of women in mass media is the use or portrayal of women as sexual beings in mass media formats such as television, film, music, and advertising to increase commercial appeal, often leading to the detriment of the women being portrayed and women in society. This includes the presentation of women as sexual objects and the standard of feminine beauty ideals that women are expected to uphold, resulting in the sexual objectification and exploitation of women and girls in the media.
