Therefore, as part of the programme, 25 journalists and photojournalists from Moldova will enhance their knowledge on topics related to gender equality - gender-sensitive language, sexism, feminism, harassment, ending violence against women, women's leadership, reflecting gender equality issues, etc.

Asya Varbanova, Representative a.i. of UN Women Moldova, stated: “Civic journalism has its roots in the fight for dignity, progress and rights for all. We invite journalists to join us in reinvigorating this tradition and getting new ideas and knowledge on gender equality and how to promote it - both within their working environment and in the portrayal of women in media. Be the champions of the journalistic standards and gender equality!”

Programme participants will have the opportunity to present, within a competition, their journalistic materials that reflect gender equality. The winners will be announced during an award ceremony, and some of them will benefit from a study visit to one of the European Union countries.
