Gender and Media Summit and Awards 2010

Gender Links (GL), the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) and the Gender and Media Southern Africa (GEMSA) Network  hosted the fourth Southern African Gender and Media Summit. The Summit  brought together media practitioners, trainers, gender activists, media regulators and all those who subscribe to the GEMSA slogan “making every voice count, and counting that it doesÀ to share best practices in creating a media that is more responsive to gender and diversity concerns. With its overarching theme, Gender, Media, Diversity and Change: Taking Stock, the summit took place against the backdrop of the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development that calls for gender parity within the media, as well as equal voice and fair treatment of women and men in editorial content by 2015.
