About GFMD Women in Media Working Group

The GFMD Women in Media Working Group is a dedicated initiative aimed at promoting gender equality and empowering women within the media industry. Established as part of the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD), this working group focuses on addressing the unique challenges faced by women in media roles across various platforms.

Our core activities include conducting research, providing training, and facilitating networking opportunities for women professionals in the media sector. We believe that by enhancing the representation of women in media, we can foster diverse perspectives and contribute to more balanced storytelling.

• Advocacy: We advocate for policies that support women's rights and equal opportunities in media.
• Capacity Building: Our training programs are designed to equip women with the skills needed to excel in their careers.
• Networking: We create spaces for women to connect, share experiences, and collaborate on projects.

Our vision is to create an inclusive media landscape where women are not only represented but also lead in decision-making roles. We work closely with media organisations, educational institutions, and other stakeholders to drive change and promote best practices.

Through our initiatives, we aim to inspire the next generation of female media leaders and ensure that their voices are heard and valued. Join us in our mission to transform the media industry into a more equitable space for all.
