Feminist media coverage of the Social Forums

‘Alternative’ events focusing on globalisation, such as the European and World Social
Forums, and the World Summits on the Information Society generally ignore issues
related to women’s rights. This article describes the experience of a team of women /
some professional journalists, and others who had never written for publication /
which
created its own media in order to provide a feminist perspective on several of these
events. In so doing, the team aimed to influence the discussion and debate at these
events, as well as providing women’s and feminist organisations with a source of
information about the global issues under discussion.
