In
the spirit of promoting gender equality in the Media, UNESCO and partners have
launched a video calling for action on gender equality and women’s empowerment
in and through media in the form of a Global Alliance on Media and Gender
(GAMG).
The video initially addresses the
significant inequalities witnessed in the field of media and journalism in
terms of gender and includes statements from Irina Bokova, Director-General of
UNESCO and Christiane Amanpour of CNN, bringing attention to the urgent actions
needed in the field.
In relation to the GAMG, the Global
Forum on Media and Gender will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 2-4 December.
The Global Forum on Media and Gender
(GFMG) is a pioneering global event that intends to address gender equality and
women’s empowerment in and through the media.
A key output of the forum will be
the establishment of a Global Alliance on Media and Gender which will
coordinate systematic follow-up to one of the critical areas of concern of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BDPA),
“Women and the Media Diagnosis”.
The video was co-produced with Gabinete
de Comunicación y Educación (Communication and Education Research Group) of the
Autonomous University of Barcelona.
