Challenging the media's poor gender ratio

Research shows that, while women are present in the media for example, women represent 79% of victims three quarters of the medias experts are men.

I have this challenge

the problem

The media says female expert representation is lacking because there aren't many female experts around. They are wrong – 2,500+ women have already been enlisted as experts. Organizing a database so that it is sortable by region as well as area of expertise enables local media to find local female experts, and to allow women to get together and form local networking groups.

ideas

The Women’s Room wants to harness the power of women and change the face (and voice) of the world.
