"Mirror on the Media" is a follow up monitoring project to the Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS), led by Gender Links and MISA.
The Mauritius report of the Southern African Gender and Media Network is the first in a series of quarterly "Mirror on the Media" surveys being carried out on a pilot basis in three Southern African countries (South Africa, Mauritius and Swaziland). It covers monitoring conducted in Mauritius in August 2004.
The aim of the project is to develop, on a pilot basis, a Gender and Media quarterly survey that will serve as a monitoring tool, in between major research studies, for measuring progress in achieving gender balance in the media.
The study shows that there has been significant improvement in the gender balance and sensitivity of the Mauritian media since the Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) in 2002. The significant increase in women sources on gender issues as well as on sports suggests that contrary to the general belief women do make their voices heard when they are interviewed especially when they are interviewed in their own language: that is Mauritian creole.
