The Committee reiterates its recommendation (CEDAW/C/NOR/CO/9, para. 23 (c)) to allocate resources for research into the root causes and possible impact of oversexualized representations of girls and women in the media and the possible links between sexualization and pornography and gender-based violence against women and girls.
