With the international network organization Women In Film And Television Germany and further renowned cooperation partners and participants from German film, television and streaming industry, I initiated and co-created two white papers on the depiction of women on screen in terms of age and gender-based violence.

​​

Media not only depicts society, it also shapes opinions and has proven to influence the reality of viewers' lives. In response to the many studies on gender parity in cinema, streaming and television, for the participants involved it was important to contribute towards a necessary cultural change. 

The study "Gender-based Violence on German Television", initiated by the MaLisa Foundation and UFA, shows that explicit gender-based violence, often serious violence against women, is portrayed in a third of all TV formats.

Both papers raise questions that help reflecting creative decisions in the stages of script-development, casting, directing on set, as well as directors of photography, image and sound editors from the post-production and representatives from broadcasters and film funds. ​
