International Federation of Journalists (IFJ): Take part in the revision of UNESCO’s Gender Sensitive Indicators for Media – READ MORE
In 2012, UNESCO published its first Gender-Sensitive Indicators for Media (GSIM) to “contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment in and through media of all forms, irrespective of the technology used”. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is in charge of revising the indicators and has launched an online survey to evaluate users’ understanding of the indicators.
Through a short survey, the IFJ would like to assess how the indicators have been used and collect recommendations for strengthening their implementation in the future and reinforcing gender equality in the media.
Please take action:
You can respond to the online survey by 11 March. It takes 5 minutes!
