This year the International Women’s organization has set the global theme of #BreakTheBias and is encouraging both organizations and individuals around the globe to create a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world where differences are valued and celebrated. A world where everyone is working collectively to #BreakTheBias.
At Stocksy, we strive to bring true representation to underrepresented perspectives within our collections every day. We believe in content that is inclusive, innovative, authentic, and artistically uncompromised. We believe stock media plays an important role in taking action for equality, to #BreakTheBias in media, and to build a more inclusive world. Representation matters and brands have the power to take action to amplify under-represented perspectives, empower women artists, and showcase the #FemaleGaze. Let’s start a dialogue this Women’s History Month and beyond - What does #BreakTheBias mean to you? What can we do as organizations and individuals to #BreakTheBias?
Introducing our newly curated Women by Women gallery. This gallery has been thoughtfully collected to highlight and support inclusive representation, universal beauty, and contemporary gender roles.
Feminist and socio-cultural concepts can be challenging to surface. Stocksy can solve for sensitive subject matter and cultural campaign visual media needs with our progressive collection.
Explore our gallery led by women artists and let the #FemaleGaze inspire your creative work.
