On 3 May 2011, the world celebrated World Press Freedom Day. For Africa, the 2011 celebration is special as it marks 20 years of the Windhoek Declaration. However, there can be no press freedom in Africa until women’s voices are equally heard in the media. The questions arising are: has the Windhoek Declaration enhanced media ownership by women? Are women’s voices represented in the media? What are the lessons learned over the last 20 years? What can Africa do going forward? The first seminar in South Africa will be held on 29 June in Johannesburg and media practitioners will discuss how gender can be put on the media freedom agenda. This seminar is part of a series to be held in the region between May and August 2011.
