Media and gender: A scholarly agenda for the Global Alliance on Media and Gender

This volume is divided into four main sections which include gender based violence, media and information; women’s access to media; gender and media policies and strategies and gender and media education and information literacy. UNESCO has co-operated with the International Association of Communication Researchers in preparing this publication.
This book was prepared before the ahead of the Global Forum on Media and Gender in Bangkok in 2013. The aim is to apply the political weight of feminist theory towards the real life practical advancement of women in society. There is potential for media to make a much greater contribution to the advancement of women. Women should be empowered by enhancing their skills, knowledge and access to media and information technology.
UNESCO intends that this publication should contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the topic. If gender equality is to be achieved in and through the media, journalism education institutions must interface with media organisations and media policy makers.
