Ban big media companies from needlessly gendering mental health articles
Require news companies to avoid using gender in the title, cover image or opening statement of mental health articles
Using gender in the opening statement, title or cover image immediately sets the tone of the article to focus on that gender which is especially problematic when it shifts the focus to women as it alienates men with mental health issues and further pushes the strong stigma around men’s mental health.
