The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) calls its networks, members and partners to express interest in the Global Alliance on Media and Gender.
Initiated by UNESCO and key partners, the Global Alliance on Media and Gender presents an important collaborative platform for all organizations working in the field of gender and media, journalism and communication.
The Global Alliance 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”.
If your organization is an NGO, CBO, association, network, training/academic institution, media organization, regulatory body (such as broadcasting commission) or media self-regulatory body, public or private entity, research institution, multilateral agency or national, regional or international development agency and your organization is involved in gender and media related activities or gender equality issues, whether online or off line, then this call is relevant to you.
The call is connected to the Global Forum on Media and Gender which will take place from 2 to 4 December 2013 in Thailand, Bangkok. This forum is a pioneering global event that intends to address gender equality and women’s empowerment in and through the media.
WACC is a key partner with UNESCO in the organization of the Global Forum on Media and Gender.
