Pakistan's Largest Ever Thematic Media Training Program Being Launched By ILO
PRESS RELEASE
ISLAMABAD, December 8, 2011: The International Labor Organization (ILO) of the United Nations is launching the largest media training program on a thematic issue ever in Pakistan's history here on Thursday. The first in a major series of 40 three-day trainings on improving portrayal of working women in media for over 800 journalists across Pakistan, including from Balochistan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Federal Capital, Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh starts on Thursday at a local hotel.
Pakistani independent media and policy development and advocacy organization Civic Action Resources, which is the ILO's partner on the media component, and which will be working with a group of specially trained trainers and subject experts, will be conducting the media trainings.
The training for the first batch of 20 journalists of all key TV channels, newspapers and radio stations from Islamabad, Rawalpindi and some adjacent districts is an outcome of a landmark media partnership established by the top media leadership of Pakistan, including owners, news managers and practitioners, who endorsed, signed and supported the "National Media Partnership on Supporting Women's Empowerment" in Islamabad in October 2011 in a national policy forum supported by the ILO.
The national partnership is part of the media component of a 5-year ILO project funded by Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) titled "Gender Equality for Decent Employment (GE4DE)" that has been launched to ensure that Pakistani women have greater access to equal employment opportunities and decent working conditions in selected economic sectors; and stakeholders have increased understanding of and favorable attitudes towards working women's issues.
The landmark ILO project GE4DE will undertake three interventions including (1) Strengthening national mechanisms to promote equal employment opportunities for women. This will include working on improving policies with the government; (2) Enhancing skills and employability of poor women in rural and urban areas of selected districts. At least 6,300 poor women will be trained; and (3) Strengthening capacity of media to raise awareness on issues related to working women. At least 800 journalists all over Pakistan will be trained in 40 three-day trainings.
The trainings will be for both mainstream national and regional media and for journalists of TV channels, newspapers, magazines, radio stations and online media and will cater to media practitioners of Urdu, English and regional language media such as Balochi, Pashto, Punjabi, Seraiki and Sindhi. A wide range of well-known media training experts drawn from all four provinces and elsewhere, who underwent a special Training of Training course on GE4DE media reporting, will conduct the trainings, which will also invite a galaxy of national and regional experts on gender, labor and journalism to bring to the trainings subject expertise, experience and insight on reporting these issues.
The training will be conducted through a special training manual titled "Journalism Plus: GE4DE Media Training Manual" developed by ILO through an extensive Pakistan-wide consultation with over 40 journalism, gender and labor experts in 2011.
