The Beijing Fourth World Conference on Women (1995) Section ‘J’ on women and the media, called the attention on the centrality of media and ICTs for gender equality. Echoing the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), the 47th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in 2003 noted the responsibility of these industries to end the discrimination of women. More recently, the Sustainable Development Goal 5 also referred to the role of media and ICTs in women’s empowerment.
