Question 12127 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Ms. Clémentine Autain questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, on the real powers of the Superior Audiovisual Council in the fight against sexist and misogynistic comments. Sexist comments in the media are an integral part of the fight that must be waged throughout society against a dominant model where men are the representation of expertise and the woman that of a passive object. Media representations have a cumulative effect, particularly on younger people who devote more and more time to screens and informative content on the internet. The means of the Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) to sanction sexist comments or behavior are today very weak. The CSA provides particularly useful monitoring to measure the evolution of representations men-women, particularly on television sets. But what are its real means today to act and punish inappropriate comments? The CSA can report an episodic event and issue a formal notice, but it does not apply any sanctions. Furthermore, it is not possible for it to warn about the repetitive effects of daily radio or television broadcasts whose very concepts are based on sexist representations. Finally, the CSA today has no power over digital content, which we know represents a growing share of content watched, particularly by young people. She asks him to present the means envisaged to give the Superior Audiovisual Council the means to take an active part in the fight against sexual and sexist comments and behavior and encourage equal representation. men and women in the media space.
