GET INVOLVED

This section was developed to encourage everyone to become involved in the WACC led Three Weeks of Action on Gender and the Media. We would welcome activists using any of the information or material below that can be of help in any subsequent campaigning activities.

Ways to get involved:

1. Take action

There are many actors defending and monitoring the representation and portrayal of women and men in news on television, radio and in newspaper. WACC invites you to take action by supporting these organisations in many different ways as well as specific actions led by the “Who makes the news?” Three Weeks of Global Action on Gender and Media Campaign. Get more information about what we do.

2. Use the Toolkits

The “Who Makes the News?” Toolkits and Take Action Pack (in English, Español, and Français) were created to encourage and support media and or/gender activists. Use these tools to improve the activities in your organizations and get involved in the different workshops and other activities that this website presents.
