BEYOND THE THREE WEEKS OF ACTIONS
The Three Weeks of Action Campaign on Gender and Media
culminated last Wednesday March 8, 2006 with
simultaneous celebrations, round tables, discussion
groups, workshops, and media programmes all over the
world. The incredible response to the campaign shows
that Gender and Media matters to many and that both
women and men deserve to be represented in media in a
fair and balanced manner.
