Discover GMMP+30 key data and analysis and recommendations for action
The GMMP is a worldwide media monitoring, research, and advocacy project for gender equality in and through the news media. It is active in more than 100 countries.
2025 marks 30 years since the first global monitoring was held, coinciding with the date of adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action for the advancement of women.
The GMMP responds to global policy recommendations to change the under- and misrepresentation of women and discrimination in media communications.
It brings needed news media accountability into the struggle for gender equality and women’s human rights. And it makes the case for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion as a hallmark of media professionalism.
Media monitoring is used to gather statistical evidence on gender in the global news media every five years. The data – both quantitative and qualitative – highlight gender biases, stereotyping, and sexism, as well as best practices in gender-responsive journalism.
The GMMP’s methodology ensures there is comparable, accurate analysis of data collected in different settings. Each new edition updates the data to use to sensitize journalists and media users, and drive change in media policy and practice.
The GMMP is a collaborative effort, with volunteer media monitors from civil society, academia and the media industry in over 100 countries throughout the world.
Six GMMPs have been carried out so far, every five years from 1995 to 2020.
GMMP+30 is taking place this year, in 2025. The exact date is communicated to the monitoring teams by GMMP coordinators.
