Italian model Bianca Balti recently spoke about the mistreatment of women in the modeling industry. She stated that modeling is one of the few professions where women face less exploitation than men. Balti made these comments at an event where she was joined by German footballer Ariane Hingst and Israeli actress Rona-Lee Shim’on.
Key Points from the Discussion
- Balti highlighted that women in modeling earn more than their male counterparts, attributing this to the significant role women play in purchasing decisions.
- She emphasized the power of social media in driving change, particularly in giving a voice to the unheard and promoting fair representation.
- Hingst pointed out the pay disparity in football, where female players earn much less than male players, and encouraged women to take a more active role in sports.
- Shim’on stressed the importance of women coming together and understanding their needs to create opportunities for themselves in the film industry.
The discussion was part of a panel titled “Braving the Odds: Scripting a New Narrative.” The panelists shared their insights on the challenges faced by women in their respective fields and the ways to overcome them. Balti, who has modeled for several high-end fashion brands, used her platform to advocate for women’s empowerment.
