Recent studies found that women only received 30.2 percent of speaking roles or named characters in top grossing films from 2007 to 2014. In the top 100 films of 2014, only 4.9 percent of the women were Hispanic/Latino, 12.5 percent were Black, 5.3 percent were Asian, 2.9 percent were Middle Eastern, and less than 1 percent were Indian or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Also, females of all ages were likely to be sexualized or shown in sexy attire. A co-author of the study stated, “It sends a message about who’s valued and who’s not.”
