Portrayal and participation of women in the media. 4. Specific comments on the proposed BAI Code. 5. Conclusion. 6. Appendix one – research data from NWCI media-monitoring survey. 1. About the NWCI The National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) is the representative body for women and women’s groups in Ireland, with 200 affiliated groups and organisations from the community, voluntary, professional and other key sectors of Irish society. The central purpose of the NWCI is to promote women's rights and women's equality. To achieve this end, our work falls under seven key areas: . Economic equality . Care . Political equality and decision making . Health and women’s human rights . Integration and anti-racism . Equality in public services . Building global and national solidarity In 2011 the AGM mandated the organisation to “address the issue of gender bias in Irish media, particularly in radio and TV panels and advertising.” Further to this a meeting of NWCI members was held in 2011 on the issue of women’s representation and participation in the media including expert panels and discussion groups. 2. Introduction & background The proposal for a draft code on fairness, impartiality and accountability in news and current affairs programming is most welcome and timely. The influence of broadcasters in the formation of opinion among significant segments of the population remains enormous.
