What is the gender distribution in the movie and television industry? What does this distribution represent? What are the reasons for the gender imbalance in the industry? There are several examples and industry data to analysis the problems, but more importantly, this paper pays more attention to how people handled the imbalanced phenomenon.

This work will try to solve the above problems, and it illustrates that the public can establish some funds to support females in artwork and the official could organize some activities to rise female awareness. Moreover, it offers an exciting opportunity to advance people’s knowledge about sexism in the screen industry, which may provide a better working environment for workers in the screen industry.
