Press freedom and diversity: no press freedom without diversity and gender equality Libertad de prensa y diversidad: no existe libertad de prensa sin diversidad e igualdad de géneros

Abstract

In the unprecedented times that the world is living, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, a greater presence
of tasks outside the home than previously performed only by men has become visible. Tell yourself that women,
women activists, feminists, the LGBTIQ + community, among others, play a leading role. This shows the enormous
inequalities that persist when gender is represented in spaces for citizen participation, centers that generate opinion
and public debate. Although, America has been overcoming certain barriers, with some integration of minorities
and certain cultural groups, as well as the inclusion of gender diversity at the legislative and jurisprudential level.
In practice, there are many countries that, manipulated by groups of powers and powerful business sectors, are
reluctant to provide the spaces and legitimize the opinions of the genders. In one of these branches, and it is
considered the most important for its dissemination and impact, it is the press, the mass media, social networks,
among others. This is neither more nor less than the reflection, of the reduction of those conditions of equality, of
non-discrimination, of representativeness, that the different legislations try to protect in their full exercise.
