During a regional meeting Saturday (April 19th) in Tunis, women journalists from Arab countries and Iran decided to launch a campaign for leadership positions in their countries' journalist unions, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said on Monday.
According to figures revealed at the event, the share of women in national unions' leadership varies from 0% in Algeria, Lebanon and Palestine to 26% in Morocco and 33% in Tunisia.
IFJ Gender Equality Officer Pamela Moriniere was quoted as saying that "journalist unions need to recruit more women, make it easier for women activists to participate in union affairs and generalise gender equality in union policies and actions".
