AWID is accepting applications for its Feminist Journalists Program to build deep and meaningful relationships with journalists who are interested in reporting on feminist and social justice issues.
AWID is a global, feminist, membership, movement-support organization working to achieve gender justice and women’s human rights worldwide.
In this pilot project they are aiming to create a cohort of 15 journalists who are interested in reporting about the ways in which feminists resist oppression, whilst co-creating a more just world.
They will specifically work to meet the following goals:
- Build relationships amongst journalists and activists interested in Co-Creating Feminist Realities – the models and solutions that activists are creating – as well as highlighting the ways in which activists resist systemic oppression.
- Provide networking and learning opportunities for journalists.
- Strengthen relationships between journalists and feminist activists from around the world.
