The workshop covered various key topics such as a review of elections and democracy practices in Egypt and Lebanon in comparison with Jordan, Jordan election laws vis-a-vis international standards, elections from a gender-sensitive perspective, and guidelines to independent and professional elections coverage.
The translations will be further used in the coming months during the IPDC project implementation, which envisages a 6-month observatory exercise to monitor news reporting and programmes from a gender-sensitive perspective, based on applying GSIM, in collaboration and partnership with media organizations and professionals.
Under the theme "Towards GenderSensitive Indicators for Media: Best Practices for GenderPerspective in Media and in Media Content", WMN 2010 is intended to initiate a global exchange on the importance and the need for gendersensitive indicators for media organizations.
