It studies the representation of non-male genders, especially women, in Indian newsrooms. The report also presents the views of journalists on the gender balance in newsrooms, the implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their employment.
