UNESCO: Women Make the News 2013

On this occasion of International Women’s Day, 8 March, UNESCO joins forces with international and regional partners to launch the annual Women Make the News initiative under the theme, Towards a Global Alliance on Media and Gender.

Launched annually, Women Make the News is a global initiative aimed at fixing attention on an issue relating to gender equality in and through the media, driving debate and encouraging action-oriented solutions until global objectives are met. It is to this end that UNESCO has developed resources such as the Gender-Sensitive Indicators for Media.

This year’s theme is related to the Global Forum on Media and Gender to be held in November 2013.
