Anita Gurumurthy participated in three sessions at the International Forum on Gender, Media, ICTs and Journalism: 20 years after the Beijing Platform for Action. The International Forum reviewed the implementation of Section J of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA) and its critical areas – gender balance in media content, women in media structures, gender and media policy, gender and freedom of expression, gender and digital communication, and current challenges.
At the event, she presented a regional report on Gender and Media in Asia over the last 20 years, a presentation on Gender policy for the Information Society and a framework for a Digital Agenda.
The forum was organised by the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) in collaboration with the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Humanities (CIICH) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in May 2015.
