Give us a break

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article review (Academic Journal)

Abstract

Towards the end of 2018, UK feminist organisations turned up the volume on their calls for respectful media representations of women who had experienced patriarchal violence. They called for media depictions that avoid sensationalising, trivialising, or fetishising women's experiences, all of which are unfortunately too commonplace. Challenges to media representations of women with lived experience of the criminal justice system were notably absent from this conversation, yet there is no demographic more sensationalised, more trivialised, or more fetishised within media portrayals than women in prison.
