Abstract(s)
Gender equity and women’s empowerment continue to be perceived primarily as a “women’s issue”. However, in order to achieve gender equality, men need to make the effort and be allies. Although in Portugal last legislative elections, October 2019, there was a positive outcome for the female gender, resulting in more women in the Parliament, with 89 elected, political parity remains a distant goal. This means more than just ticking a box or making a public statement in support of gender equality. It means elevating the voices of women and pushing for policies which support women’s political participation and representation. But it also means to end any kind of discrimination in the media. This article aims to highlight and characterize the way media treated women during the last political campaign. The main portuguese newspapers will be analysed during the campaign period in trying to answer the main research questions under investigation: have female candidates been treated in a different way from their male colleagues?
