Abstract
"The title of my presentation is ‘Imagine media that promotes gender justice’. We have to imagine it because it needs to proliferate at all levels: in the mainstream media, in the blogosphere, in alternative media. It needs to exist because gender justice is critical in its own right, central to the achievement of justice in general and inter-dependent with the achievement of social and economic justice. It is important, also, because the path to gender equality and women’s empowerment – a project that gained steam with the first world conference on women in 1975 and continues on a fairly bumpy road until today – is uneven. One could reasonably argue – and this is the irony of work on gender equality right now – that there is much to celebrate with data showing good progress in many areas. One example from work on women’s political participation illustrates how – depending on the country and the particular dimension you’re looking at -- the glass could be called either half-empty or half-full."(pg 1)
