- Description
- 'The good news in South Asia is that women are joining journalism’s ranks in large numbers. Yet with that, they are also still bearing the brunt of inequality in many newsrooms. .While improvements have been achieved by and for women in journalism, many problems still remain, notwithstanding the disproportionate number of men in decision-making roles within the unions and media organisations. .The IFJ and SAMSN believe the priorities of women journalists must be recognised and addressed. .But in order for journalists’ organisations to improve the conditions for women journalists, they may also have to reform their own structures – to ensure that women are properly represented in the union’s governing bodies.'
