#AskHerMore at the Olympics

This Olympics, the #AskHerMore campaign inspired viewers and reporters to challenge and overcome limiting stereotypes around women athletes. With The Representation Project’s support, you held media outlets accountable for focusing too much on women’s marital status, emotional composure, and outfits as compared to their talents and accomplishments at the games. Together, we ignited a global conversation! Check out the full results of the campaign!

And men in their 40s who have children who go, “OK, I’ve got to raise my own sons differently.'”– The Guardian
