CICANT co-organises the conference Women’s Communication Rights in the Digital Era: the Beijing Platform for Action 30 Years On, together with ICNOVA (NOVA University Lisbon) and ECREA’s Gender, Sexuality and Communication Section.
Marking 30 years since the Beijing Platform for Action, the event will address ongoing and emerging challenges in gender and intersectional equality within the media. Despite progress, inequalities persist — from underrepresentation in leadership to online misogyny, particularly affecting minority groups.
The conference invites scholars, policymakers, media professionals, and activists to discuss topics such as feminist media policy, digital harassment, AI bias, and alternative feminist media practices. It will serve as a collaborative platform to exchange ideas and promote a more inclusive media environment.
Registration is open until May 31st, 2025.
