IFJ: Getting the balance right
The International Federation of Journalists has an interesting leaflet summarizing what is at stake when it comes to women in the media... equal pay for equal work, but also equal access to training, health care and so on, but also stereotypes of representation of women in the news. There are some useful guidelines to "avoid to support sexism in the media", and also IFJ's Gender Policy (Korea 2001) and the IFJ resolution on Gender Rigths (Athens 2004).

Hi Stefania,
Thanks for posting this leaflet, it is extermely useful and inspiring. I believe the growth of women journalists union around the world is also a worthy topic to study.
