Whereas; the media written and oral is a reflection of society culturally biased on facts and interpretation for past generation and taught in schools as history.

Whereas, journalists in various media be it written and oral press (radio-television-press and press agencies) can inform people about news and issues that are important, they can also be responsible for perpetuating cultural biases and misunderstandings; hence perpetuating sexism, racism and homophobia by promoting stereotypes.

Whereas; radio commentators can insult women from various cultural communities by stating it is only a joke, or it is a parody or comedy

Whereas; the media propagate misunderstandings, prejudice and racism based on cultural misinformation

Whereas; a complaint can be lodge by a cultural group that has been offended and never by a person of the dominant society

Whereas; institution such as the Human Rights Commission of Quebec, the Conseil de Presse, Association Professionel des journalistes who are there to protect the integrity of journalism oral and written, will look at complaints from the offended party or the woman from a cultural community.

Whereas; journalists in the name of cynicism, comedy often abuse women psychologically by using derogatory comments or words.

Therefore we resolve that the Business and Professional Women’s Club of the Province of Quebec that any person who is offended be it they are from a specific cultural or ethnic community or not is given the right and the legal status to lodge an official complaint on the basis of creating misunderstanding, prejudice, preserving cultural biases, misinterpretations. Any women will be able to lodge a formal complaint, be heard and most importantly get an official answer and be able to make a difference. The woman will be given the same legal rights as the person of the cultural community that is offended; when a journalist, commentator, uses biased and prejudicial and objectionable language, derogatory remarks, biased facts and prejudicial words, slanderous terminology when describing a woman that is different or of another cultural group.
