Crítica feminista al concepto de consentimiento

Ana de Miguel (2015, 10) y Geneviéve Fraisse (2012) han llamado la atención sobre la creencia de que las mujeres hemos alcanzado la igualdad, tomamos acuerdos, que llegamos a la era del consentimiento. Este supuesto se ha posicionado sobre la desigualdad de las razones para elegir. Al parecer, las mujeres tenemos el poder y el control sobre nosotras mismas, como si ya se hubiera erradicado la opresión contra las mujeres que implica subordinación, discriminación y dependencia vital, en términos de Marcela Lagarde (2015, 100).

Gender equality and inclusion in #OurDigitalFuture

We advocate for a New Gender Deal for WSIS+20.

a. Calling on all relevant actors – the UN system, governments, media and digital communication companies, and civil society movements – to support the inclusion of a new gender deal in the digital ecosystem.
b. Interrogating existing norms and reinforces mechanisms to strengthen gender equality within the technology sector.
c. Implementing actions designed to respond to urgent identified needs, such as:
i. ensuring universal and safe access of women and girls to the digital ecosystem;
ii. promoting regulatory and co-regulatory mechanisms at national, regional and international levels;
iii. implementing frameworks for algorithmic transparency, incorporating methods such as third party audits;
iv. promoting digital literacy programmes with a gender component;
v. encouraging efforts by women’s organisations in using digital media and online spaces to amplify their stories;
vi. ensuring safe conditions for women journalists and human rights defenders; and,
vii. tackling online and offline gender-based harassment and violence against women and girls, gagging clauses and consequent immunity from the law.
d. Urging the international community to recognise the centrality of these issues in achieving gender equality in the 21st century.

GAMAG statement on solidarity for journalists’ safety

March 2024

The Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) joins with other international organizations in expressing our strongest support for women and men journalists in Palestine/Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, Yemen and other conflict zones. We applaud their courage and tenacity to work in the most dangerous circumstances to report what is happening in these brutal and lamentable wars.

Too many journalists have been targeted with violence, resulting in their abuse and death. The international Committee to Protect Journalists reported that by March 2024, 64 journalists had been killed in the Israeli-Hamas war, more than 50 of them Palestinians. Reporters without Borders reported that more than 100 journalists were the victims of Russian violent crimes, including disappearance and murder, in the first two years of that nation’s invasion of Ukraine.

GAMAG EUROPE, for a 2024 with PEACE

GAMAG EUROPE demands an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Let it be silent the weapons of Israel (whose destructive and deadly capacity is much superior) and also those of Hamas.

No to a Palestinian genocide.
