Women Make the News 2012

On International Women’s Day, 8 March, UNESCO and other international and regional media organizations join to celebrate the annual Women Make the News (WMN) initiative. WMN is a global policy advocacy initiative aimed at promoting gender equality in the media.

The theme for this year is Rural women’s access to media and information. It seeks to underscore and stimulate knowledge exchange on: the importance of policies in favour of access to media and information in rural communities, particularly for women; and good practices undertaken by public service broadcasters, commercial and community media, and NGOs.
