AIBD/Safe & Fair Workshop on inclusive & gender-sensitive reporting on issues related to women migrant workers

Aims & Objectives

The media has a critical role in shaping society’s perception regarding migrants and refugees, which has become a serious topic in today’s global politics. However, some observe that the lack of training and not being sensitised enough to migrant issues, media practitioners misrepresent their challenges and sufferings. Training regarding gender reporting, SDG awareness, ethical migrant journalism, basic know-how of the law of the country, and exposure to international case studies are very important for today’s journalists to highlight this subject in its precise context. In collaboration with the Safe and Fair programme, AIBD will organise a 4day- national workshop for Malaysian media practitioners where various media trainers will be invited to train on different angles of migrant journalism focusing on women migrant workers.

The trainers will focus on the following topics:

  1. Importance of Migrant Journalism with a focus on women migrant workers
  2. Ethical dilemmas related to migrant journalism
  3. Gender-sensitive reporting & importance of gender-sensitive language
  4. SDG Reporting (SDG-10) regarding women migrants
  5. Crafting compelling PSAs on humane stories

 

Participants’ Profile:

The project is aimed to involve reporters who work on human developmental issues.
