What
is GiB Consultation List?
GiB is a consultation process bringing together
media practitioners, researchers, activists
and academics to share your views on media
and gender representations via an e-mail discussion.
The
aim of the list is to:
-
understand the gendered content of broadcast
legislation and how it can be made more
gender aware;
-
explore
the social implications legislation has
had for men and women in the media and South
African society broadly;
-
examine
strategic interventions stakeholders can
implement to reinforce positive changes
in the media.
This
is an opportunity for all of us to identify
meaningful issues that we would like to see
the Department of Communications address in
the policy-making process
