Media and Gendered Violence in Canada and Romania

The present comparative analysis starts from the preeminence
and widespread social issue of violence against women and
children in the entire world and focused on two countries:
Romania and Canada. Despite the fact that these countries
seemed to have little in common regarding the economic, social
and political life we consider that the phenomenon of violence
against women and children displayed some fundamental, basic
characteristics that could be similar. Moreover, a focused
international comparison might shed new light in this area. The
article will try to offer an answer at the following question:
What is the link between the ways in which journalists re-present
gender in their portrayals of violence against women and the
general legal framework that regulate this issue in the case of
Canada and Romania?
