Gallego Ayala talks in Salvados (La Sexta) about gender roles on television

Juana Gallego Ayala, member of the research team of the FEM2016-65834-C2-2-P project from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, was interviewed in La Sexta programme Salvados directed by Jordi Évole entitled “Ser mujer”, broadcasted last 10^th of March 2017 in commemoration of International Women’s Day. The researcher drew attention to topics such as the perpetuation of the use of the female body as ornament and sexual object in advertising or the absence of women’s voices as sources of expert information. In this vein, Gallego Ayala noted, women’s testimony is sought to illustrate everyday experiences or opinions of ordinary people, while men continue to be the specialists who issue the arguments of authority or more specialised points of view.
