Pictured: Caroline and Spot the Sexism supporters

Yesterday's launch of Spot the Sexism went really well, with women from across the city and supporters from groups such as Rise, Brighton Women's Centre, and Brighton Women Against Cuts in attendance.

The launch took place with a photocall in Pavilion Gardens (pictured above).

Spot the Sexism is a month-long campaign to gather evidence of sexism in the media and advertising, as part of a growing movement which is challenging sexism in wider society.

People in Brighton are being asked to send photos or links of examples of sexism to a new website, http://spotthesexism.blogspot.co.uk, or to post on social media, via Twitter @SpotTheSexism and using #sexistpress, or by joining the "Spot the Sexism Brighton" page on Facebook.

Whether it’s the Sun’s embarrassingly regressive Page 3, the Daily Mail representing women as merely the sum of their "curves" or "pins", or rape cases being reported next to pictures of half-naked women, the media constantly sends out damaging messages about women and girls.  

At a time when awareness of violence against women and girls is increasing, it’s vital that we challenge the cultural context which allows gendered violence to take place on such an alarming scale.

Let's spot it - and then stop it!
