A new global analysis of 1.14 billion online news articles found that coverage of violence against women dropped to 1.3% of all news in 2025—the lowest level since 2017—despite high-profile abuse cases and rising AI-enabled harassment. In Epstein-related coverage alone, only 0.1% of nearly 1 million articles used the term 'violence against women,' with stories instead focusing on power, money, and corruption while largely ignoring the gender inequality that enables abuse. The report also found that when misogyny is covered, men's voices dominate with 1.5 men quoted for every woman, and references to anti-gender-equality rhetoric surged 42-fold between 2020-2025. This matters because one in three women globally experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, yet the press is systematically underreporting the gender dimensions of these crimes, which prevents public understanding of root causes.
