Fresh off her first televised interview about her experiences with Harvey Weinstein, Ashley Judd was honored at the Women's Media Center’s Women in Media Awards.

Alongside women's rights legend Gloria Steinem, Judd spoke to “Extra’s” AJ Calloway about the honor, which recognized her for speaking out against sexual harassment. She said, "I feel glorious. I feel protected that I am in the most powerful community in the world. I know that I am part of something that is historic and unprecedented and I feel... divine is a pretty accurate word.”

During her speech, the former secretary of state specifically addressed women's representation in the media, both as reporter and subject. "When will the media recognize we are half of the population and when our voices are absent you are not telling the whole story and that is your responsibility?" she asked the crowd.

Actress Jane Fonda and activist Gloria Steinem stopped by MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” Wednesday night to discuss the Harvey Weinstein scandal, where Fonda pointed out that part of the reason Weinstein’s accusers are getting so much attention is because they’re “famous and white” — with the exception of Lupita Nyong’o.

“It feels like something has shifted,” Fonda told Hayes. “It’s too bad that it’s probably because so many of the women that were assaulted by Harvey Weinstein are famous and white and everybody knows them. This has been going on a long time to black women and other women of color and it doesn’t get out quite the same.”

White House correspondent April Ryan was also in attendance and received the She Persisted award for her work on pushing back against the current administration.

Ryan also shared that she was almost fired after members of the Trump administration called her boss at American Urban Radio Networks and asked for her resignation, but that Hillary Clinton called her employers and fought for her to stay on.

On the same day her interview with Diane Sawyer blanketed ABC News, Ashley Judd was honored at the Women’s Media Center Awards in New York on Thursday. “This will be the end of it if we decide that’s what we want," she emphasized, adding that she has felt loved, adored and supported after coming forward with her story.

"It's going to be much harder for men to get away with this. More people are going to be willing to come forward, hopefully men as well as women to report what's going on."

“Hillary Clinton’s actions have inspired and protected women and men on every continent,” Gloria Steinem, co-founder of the Women’s Media Center, said in a statement Friday.

“She has battled negative forces and helped to maintain a fragile peace with her negotiating skill on behalf of this country and peace-seekers everywhere. She has handled all this with grace, grit, determination, integrity, humor and fortitude while remaining a steadfast feminist, advocate, activist, sister and tireless leader in the revolution. With this award, the Women’s Media Center declares Hillary Clinton our Wonder Woman,” Steinem added.

“It's crucial to call out those like Harvey Weinstein who misuse big power, and also to reward those who risk what small power they have by telling the truth,“ Gloria Steinem, co-founder of the Women’s Media Center, said in a statement Friday.

Judd will be honored by the Women's Media Center later this month for kicking off a domino effect that collapsed decades of silence.

In a release, Gloria Steinem, co-founder of the Women's Media Center, said the organization chose to honor Judd, a longtime humanitarian and political activist, for leading "global truth-telling in the most powerful way — by example."

“It has never been more clear that media shape our world — by fact-checking or not, by choosing what to report, by deciding who gets to talk, by assuming there are two sides to every issue even when there are more, by employing or not paying writers, by going for numbers and advertisers instead of quality and credibility — and much more,” said Gloria Steinem, co-founder of the Women’s Media Center. “Media have a lot of power over who we are, what we can become, how we live, and who governs us. That’s why the work of the Women’s Media Center is even more important than it was a decade ago at our founding.”

Julie Burton, president of the Women's Media Center, said: "At a time of political attacks on women's rights and opportunities - and when the important role of the news media is being undermined at the highest level of government - our honorees represent trust, truth, and excellence. Whether in front of the camera or behind it, they tell the real stories of our lives and are champions for all women. We are proud to celebrate them at the Women's Media Awards."

According to a report from the Women’s Media Center, men still dominate Emmy nominations for behind-the-scenes roles. In the writing, directing, editing and producing categories, women gained one percentage point, up from 25 percent last year.

“A Women’s Media Center report examining who provides coverage for 20 top news outlets shows that female journalists continue to report less of the news than do male journalists — with the disparity especially glaring in television,” the center reported Wednesday.

A recent report by the Women’s Media Center found that 89 percent of sports reporters are men, and women make upfewer than 10 percent of assistant sports editors.

The gender disparity shown in the WMC survey is obvious in terms of numbers and simple equity, considering that women make up 51 percent of the population. But its implications, including the impact on news credibility, may not be so clear to news consumers. WMC Director of Communications Cristal Williams Chancellor noted in an interview that many of our fellow citizens are “comfortable” with men in anchor chairs or dominating story bylines.
