Geena Davis Institute

Founded by Academy Award winning actor Geena Davis, the Institute works collaboratively within the entertainment and media industries to achieve systemic cultural equity and inclusion onscreen. We are the only research-based organization examining representation of six identities: gender, race, LGBTQ+, disability, age, and body size.

The Institute is a resource for the entertainment industry (media companies, animators, writers, producers, and others), the next generation of content-creators, and the public. We outreach to these individuals and companies towards supporting positive change in media, so young girls and young boys can grow up treating each other as equals.


If they can see it, they can be it.™
