Meghan Markle teamed up with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media on a report about the portrayal of moms in the media. See what the Duchess of Sussex said about the findings.
The Duchess of Sussex said a new report "highlights the gaps" about the portrayal of moms in the media"My past experience as an actress, and now today as a producer and mother, have amplified my belief in the critical importance of supporting women and moms both behind the lens and in front of it," Meghan, 42, said in a statement, according to the outlet.
"She had a line she would say, and I always steal it from her: The most important title I have is mother,” Saujani said, according to. “The one ask is to show our multidimensionality. Show us both as moms and workers, don’t just show one or the other. Show us as we are: both." The study found that mothers on television were not representative of the American population, with most being white, young and thin. There were no portrayals of mothers with disabilities, only 1.8% were overweight and 6.2% were queer. The father was the breadwinner of the family 90% of the time on TV shows, another example of how the families didn't reflect real-life statistics.
"Given these findings, we present the following recommendations to TV executives, producers, and writers, as well as to all of the moms who aren’t seeing themselves on screen," the report said. "Moms First and the Geena Davis Institute are eager to support entertainment industry leaders in their efforts to more accurately portray motherhood on television.
