Women Make the News

The Unesco and the International Federation of Journalists are calling on all the media to ensure that the world’s news output from March 5 to 11, coinciding with the celebration of the International Women's Day on March 8, is produced under the editorial responsibility of women.

Unesco supports women’s efforts to become full partners in all decision-making and policy-making fora. In media where no women have ever held the position of editor-in-chief, this offers a first experience of editorial responsibility carried out by one of their women journalists. It is an important step, not only for the woman journalist herself, but also for the media’s entire news team and for their public.
