SummaryThis publication is a study conducted by Gender Links (GL) on gender and advertising in Southern Africa.

Covering 1,650 radio, television, print, and billboard advertisements in Mauritius, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the study aims to establish how women and men are represented and portrayed in advertising.
