Happy birthday, Gender Links! I’ve known you – albeit mostly from afar – since your infancy! In fact, you’re just a year older than the Network of Women in Media, India, which will celebrate its 20th birthday in 2022! I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few of your earlier Summits in person and have always not only enjoyed and learnt from them but also been impressed by the energy and productivity they brought together. I wish GL and everyone who has contributed to making it the dynamic gender and media champion it is – within South Africa, across Africa and indeed across the world – all the very best for the decades ahead!
