Seminars
Country Filter:
Gender Links believes that the best way to unearth key issues on gender, media and diversity is to move them into the public domain and talk about them. Therefore at the forefront of GL’s work is the use of seminars for debate and discussion. In this way, the GMDC could help to foster a global community of activists and academics committed to more representative and responsive media.
All seminars are coordinated by Saeanna Chingamuka on gmdcmanager@genderlinks.org.za.
