About Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media
Founded in 2004 by Academy Award Winning Actor Geena Davis, the Geena Davis Institute is the only research-based organization working collaboratively within the media and entertainment industries to increase the representation of six major intersectional identities: gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, age 50+, and body type onscreen. We work every day to mitigate unconscious bias while creating equality, fostering inclusion, recognizing intersectionality, and reducing negative stereotyping in the industry using research and data. Our theory of change is simple: one of the most powerful ways to immediately impact the stubborn issue of inequality - in all sectors of society - is to change what people see in popular content. Our motto is, "If they can see it, they can be it."
