Project aims:
\nTo explore different areas of the media (such as advertising, TV and films) to assess the level of sexual objectification that people will view on a daily basis. <\/p>\n

Explore the inequalities that women still face in modern society and assess whether the situation is improving or growing worse. <\/p>\n

Assess rape statistics \u2013 especially in respect to how many rapes occur and how many are reported \u2013 to see if sexual objectification could have removed the female voice to the point of silencing them completely. <\/p>\n

Finally discuss if the situation can be resolved and potentially how this could be done. <\/p>\n
