Gender equality: Braking the downward slide

The World Association for Christian Communication highlights the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action and supports a statement by the Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) warning that gender equality progress is being reversed. The document calls for the protection of women-led civil society resources, the defense of media freedom for women journalists, and resistance against the erasure of gender equality language from public discourse.

• The Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) warns that without challenging the current status quo, progress toward gender equality will be reversed 30 years after the Beijing Platform for Action.
• The document identifies a 'perfect storm' of political, economic, and cultural attacks that have reduced financial support for community and public interest media and increased backlash against equality and diversity policies.
• GAMAG advocates for several specific actions: providing resources to women-led civil society organizations, resisting the removal of gender equality language from public discourse, defending the rights of women journalists, and opposing policies that threaten women's freedom of expression.
