BRUSSELS, BELGIUM National media-monitoring bodies should be set up to deal with stereotypes in advertising and media, particularly degrading depictions of women, the European Parliament said Wednesday.
The Parliament, meeting here, voted on a program to ban sexist images of women and men in advertising, broadcasting, video games and other media.
The monitoring bodies would handle complaints from the public, study and report on the question of women in the media and grant gender equality awards to media and advertising professionals.
