Gender mainstreaming in media

Activities included training and master workshops for journalists and non-governmental organisations to share tools and tips on gender portrayal by media and also to use monitoring tools. The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) also organised a conference which issued a declaration to raise awareness on gender issues among media organisations, their management and journalism training schools.
