Covering women’s issues and promoting their voice<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Equality between males and females is a fundamental issue for achieving sustainable development.\u00a0Without the full involvement of women, peace and sustainable development cannot be achieved.\u00a0Even before the war, Yemen had always occupied the last ranks in development indicators,\u00a0including the gender gap index in the World Economic Forum. This reflects the deep inequality\u00a0that is inherent in the country. Women still face high rates of underage marriage, illiteracy,\u00a0poverty and unemployment. The representation of women in the media and public debates is still a\u00a0marginal and incidental issue. Decision-makers in Yemen are mostly men, and they also represent\u00a0the main sources of information and are responsible for setting policies, planning and\u00a0budgeting.<\/p>\n
The lack of women’s representation in the media field has led to the absence of women’s stories\u00a0and perspectives. Most of the local media institutions are run by men, in addition, women\u00a0represent a small part of the number of journalists.<\/p>\n
The Yemen Gender Newsroom aims to enhance women’s participation and deliver their voices and\u00a0perspectives in public debates as well as inform and engage the public on women’s issues. It\u00a0also seeks to promote the production of media content that revolves around women’s affairs and\u00a0rights. So that women’s stories are not limited to the traditional role of child-rearing,\u00a0agriculture, domestic work or humanitarian assistance. The Yemen Gender Newsroom aims to support\u00a0the creation of content that includes women’s issues and their broad inclusion in every aspect\u00a0of life such as politics, economics, war and peace negotiations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Content can be produced in print, audio or visual form, such as an electronic article, flash,\u00a0radio program, video, photos or information, data journalism, \u201cinfographic\u201d or any press\u00a0template.<\/p>\n
A journalist must have a media platform through which he\/ she can publish the content he\/ she\u00a0produces. The Gender Newsroom will also have a Facebook and WhatsApp group page on which\u00a0newsroom\u00a0sponsored content will be aggregated and disseminated on other platforms.<\/p>\n
The trainer is an experienced journalist with extensive experience in media production. Her role\u00a0is\u00a0the online supporting and guiding to the journalist in producing content, from the idea stage to\u00a0the\u00a0final production and publication of the story.<\/p>\n
Any journalist can suggest stories to the newsroom provided that they are related to women\u2019s\u00a0rights\u00a0and affairs or are from a women\u2019s perspective. If the story is agreed upon, the journalist will\u00a0work\u00a0online with the newsroom trainer to achieve it. The trainer will support the journalist in\u00a0producing\u00a0the content and ensure that it is of the highest quality.<\/p>\n
Although the project primarily targets female journalists, any male or female journalist can\u00a0apply\u00a0to the Gender Newsroom. Male journalists can present their stories to the newsroom as long as\u00a0they\u00a0relate to women’s rights and issues.<\/p>\n
Journalists get paid for their work once a story is approved and published, and the amount\u00a0depends\u00a0on the type of content produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
