Healthy Media for Youth Act
establishes a national task force that would develop voluntary guidelines and other measures to promote positive media images of girls and women.

The Healthy Media for Youth Act will empower America's young girls by:

-Supporting age-appropriate education on negative effects of the sexualization of young girls, adolescents and adults.

-Promoting healthy, balanced and positive images of girls and women in the media.

-Building up young girls' confidence and self-esteem and rejecting messages that sexualize and objectify them.


takes a three-pronged approach to promote healthy media messages about girls and women. First, the bill creates a competitive grant program to encourage and support media literacy programs and youth empowerment groups. The bill also facilitates research on how depictions of women and girls in the media affect youth. Finally, it establishes a National Taskforce on Women and Girls in the Media, which will develop voluntary standards that promote healthy, balanced, and positive images of girls and women in the media for the benefit of all youth.
