The Women's Room. Are you a woman? Are you an expert in your field? Do you feel under-represented in the media? You should. Research shows that, while women are present in the media - for example we represent 79% of victims - three-quarters of the media's "experts" are men. The media says that this is because there just aren't that many female experts around, and the media just reflects the reality of the world. This website is about proving them wrong.
