The clichéd, sexist portrayals of women and girls in advertising just took another blow from the ANA's Alliance for Family Entertainment (ANA AFE).

The goal is to see a 20-plus percent increase in the accurate portrayal of women and girls in ads by 2020, the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote in the U.S.
