Media as a tool for gender mainstreaming

This article uses the example of Zimbabwe to illustrate the importance of freedom of expression and freedom of the media to democracy. It is noted that African governments are not prepared to play an active role to promote media freedom because the media is a key tool for accountability and transparency. The author also notes that media freedom and other human rights are only realised when women play an equal role, both in a country’s democracy and in its media.
