 * The theme for this year’s Media Literacy Week: **
 * Gender and Media** – encourages adults to explore with young people a wide-range of media issues, such as body image, stereotyping, sexualisation, gender roles and healthy relationships – as well as how media can be used to provide more realistic and empowering examples for youth.

“Girls and boys look for role models to help them define their social identities and media provide a wide range of models on what it is to be male or female in today’s society,” said MNet Co-Executive Director Cathy Wing. “This year’s theme helps youth think critically about the ways that media can limit or expand their potential.”
