ASIA: IFJ CONDUCTING RESEARCH PROJECT ON WOMEN IN THE MEDIA

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is working on
improving the working conditions of women in the media in Asia,
reports the "IFJ Asia Pacific" bulletin of July (Volume 1.1). The
IFJ is currently doing a survey on "Women in the Media in Asia."
The research, which will also determine how to improve the
portrayal of women in the media in order to make it more positive
and realistic, will involve regional IFJ affiliates throughout
Asia, including Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and
Australia. The project receives support from the Australian
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and
the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The findings of the survey will
be presented to the IFJ regional meeting in Hong Kong in
December. For more information, contact the IFJ Asia Pacific
