Africa: Media Equality Critical for Women's Rights

press release

Geneva — The first general assembly of the Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) has rounded out a week of meetings at the UN with a call for gender equality in and through the media by 2030 in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

"On International Human Rights Day (10 December), we call for inclusive societies that give equal voice to all," said Colleen Lowe Morna, CEO of Gender Links and GAMAG Chairperson. "This cannot be achieved as long as half the world's population is effectively silenced."
