Fojo Media Institute ()

Global Forum for Media Development ()

How can gender equality and women’s freedom of expression be promoted through law and policy without infringing on media freedom? Based on key findings from Fojo Media Institute's .

To what extent is gender equality incorporated in mechanisms for the protection of journalists? The UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity will be used as point of departure. The presentation will draw on - a case study collaboration between International Media Support (IMS) and the The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWART).

As part of the work of a coalition against online violence , Free Press Unlimited is leading advocacy to establish international standards on online violence against women journalists. At present there is no global policy in this area.
