Partnering with NGOs for Women's Rights

Networking
The core of the MediaLinks project is networking. Media practitioners need more information to be able to understandthe human rights issues and get vital news sources from NGOs who have a lot of facts, yet cannot get them out in the media for public consumption. Local media can reach out to people's organizations and NGOs and vice versa, filling the gaps and enhancing the advocacy work for women's rights.
