Trousse d’apprentissage pour un journalisme éthique dans le domaine du genre et des politiques au sein des médias

The document is Volume 2 of a learning kit developed by the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ). It aims to combat the marginalization of women in the media, noting that in 2010, women constituted only 24% of the people heard, mentioned, or seen in the news. The guide provides specific ethical reporting frameworks for climate change, disasters, economics, sexual and reproductive health, human trafficking, peace and security, politics, and sexual violence.

• Women are disproportionately affected by climate change because they represent the highest percentage of poor populations and have limited access to resources for mitigation.
• Climate change intensifies existing gender inequalities across all cultures.
• Women's roles in food production are critical, with women responsible for 75% of domestic food production in sub-Saharan Africa, 65% in Asia, and 45% in Latin America.
• In disaster scenarios, women face specific vulnerabilities, including increased risk of sexual and domestic violence in temporary shelters and barriers to claiming land rights after the death of male heads of household.
• Women are significantly underrepresented in economic reporting, appearing in only 20% of such reports globally, 15% in Asia, and 10% in India.
• A vast 'hidden' informal economy exists, largely composed of women whose productive contributions are systematically undervalued or not recognized as economic activity.
• Reporting on sexual and reproductive health often fails by assuming a male audience or using technical jargon that alienates women and ignores the impact of health issues on female-headed households.
• Human trafficking for sexual exploitation is one of the most lucrative illicit businesses globally, generating 12 million US dollars annually.
• According to 2005 ILO statistics, over 1.23 million people are in employment conditions resembling slavery, and 4 million people—including women, girls, and boys—are trafficked annually.
• Women are often invisible in peace and security reporting despite their active roles in conflict resolution and the use of rape as a 'weapon of war'.
• UN Security Council Resolution 1325 provides a legal framework requiring states to protect women from gender-based violence and increase their representation in decision-making and peace consolidation.
• Media coverage of women in politics often focuses on their appearance, dress, and domestic roles rather than their professional performance, which undermines their credibility.
• Reporting on sexual violence frequently falls into the trap of 'victim-blaming' or objectifying survivors, often using language that suggests the survivor's beauty or behavior contributed to the assault.
