    5 Ways The Movie Industry Still Fails Women

    For one fifth of movies released in 2015, female characters never speak to each other. And when they do, they often talk only about... men.

    1. For one in every five movies released in 2015, female characters never speak to each other.

    2. Movies released in 2014 actually set women back on the silver screen, with a drop in percentage of movies passing the Bechdel Rule since 2009.

    3. Girl-to-Girl talk is pretty uncommon on screen.

    4. Of films with ‘family’ in the plot, 74% pass. Only 48% of those with ‘career’ do.

    5. Do young girls have enough role models? Almost half of animated movies surveyed fail the test.
