How a movie character is written or portrayed influences a viewer's impression, which can in turn influence people's stereotypes on gender norms.

Our new tool allows for in-depth analyses of subtle nuances in how characters are written about in movie screenplays.

Read MoreMany factors affect how much you are paid, including the sector you work in, your age and how long you have been in a job.
But thanks to a law forcing UK employers to publish details of the differences between male and female pay and bonuses for the first time, there is a new spotlight on how gender affects pay.
The average woman working full-time in the UK earns 9.1 per cent less than a man per hour. With part-timers included, the gap is 18.4 per cent.
Find out whether there is a gender pay gap for your job and, if so, what size it is, with our calculator below.

The median salary for women working full-time is about 80 percent of men’s. That gap, put in other terms, means women are working for free 10 weeks a year. So, if you’re a woman ...... you started working for free 15 hours ago...
Well, that is a little blunt — there are gradients on that difference. The pay gap varies depending on the occupation, working hours, education attainment, experience, and geography.
Look at when women in varying occupations would start working for free, based on the wage gap in that field (US data).

Read MoreThe F-Rating is applied to films by cinemas and film festivals giving moviegoers an easily identifiable label so they can choose films that fairly represent women on screen and behind the camera. Highlighting these films sends a clear message to distributors, producers and funders that women can and should have more than just a supporting role within the industry.
The F-Rating is applied to all films which are directed by women and/or written by women. If the film ALSO has significant women on screen, it receives a TRIPLE F-Rating, our gold standard. The rating allows audiences to “vote with your seat” and proactively choose to go and see F-Rated films.

Read MoreThe intervention is called the Feminist Chatbot Design Process (FCDP), which is a series of reflective questions incorporating feminist interaction design characteristics, ethical AI principles and research on debiasing data. The FCDP encourages design and development teams to follow the reflective questions at the conceptual design phase, and can be used by all team members (technical and non-technical). The outcome of the FCDP is that teams produce a chatbot design which is sensitive to feminist critiques of technology and AI, and grow their own awareness of the relationship between gender power relations and technology.
