«MEDIA GUIDANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-REGULATORY STANDARDS TO REPORT ON CASES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, BASED ON COUNCIL OF EUROPE STANDARDS»

«1. Introduction

The media plays a crucial role in increasing awareness and changing harmful attitudes towards gender-based violence against women, especially in conflict and post-conflict areas1 . However, despite this important role, media professionals often lack systematic and continuous support, knowledge and understanding to approach the topic of violence against women and domestic violence in a gender-sensitive manner to raise public awareness of the problem. In Ukraine, women are often represented in media stereotypically (due to their physical appearance, or as mothers, wives or carers) and are nearly absent in male-dominated sectors. Cases of violence against women and domestic violence are typically under-reported and when they are reported, it is not in a gender sensitive ethical manner. This can be due to the lack of a set of standards for ethical reporting on gender equality/violence against women. To address this shortcoming, an interdisciplinary approach and cooperation between different professionals working on the issue of violence against women and media professionals is needed. These guidelines are designed in cooperation with national and international experts on gender equality, violence against women and media experts and professionals, with the purpose of providing Ukrainian media professionals with concrete guidance that would developing self-regulatory mechanisms to facilitate human rights-based, gender-sensitive and ethical reporting on violence against women and thus contribute to a more just and equal society for all. This media guidance has been developed under the project The Istanbul Convention: a tool to advance in fighting violence against women and domestic violence in Ukraine. Through this project, the Council of Europe aims to support and further develop capacities within Ukraine’s preventive and protective institutional mechanisms to prevent and protect victims of violence against women, while also aiding professionals who provide assistance to victims of violence against women and domestic violence to capably apply their knowledge and skills».

«EM CADA ROSTO IGUALDADE»

No Em Cada Rosto Igualdade queremos, desde logo, juntar do que de bom e menos bom vai acontecendo à volta em torno da(s) igualdade(s), associar o disperso que nos chegue sobre problemas na esfera de género, feminismos, migrações, direitos humanos, pobreza, envelhecimento ativo, assédio, remunerações iguais para homens e mulheres, conciliação entre vida pessoal, familiar e profissional, cidadania, objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável (ODS), direitos das crianças, violência doméstica … E não porque se defenda que estas matérias devam ser tratadas à parte, mas precisamente porque se deseja que estejam em toda a parte, e sejam preocupação de todos e todas e ocupem o ADN das organizações. A intenção é participar na divulgação e reflexão do que vai sendo institucionalizado, praticado e teorizado. Daremos enfoque às boas práticas que nos inspirem e mobilizem. E, neste século XXI, elegemos organizadores claros: o paradigma Desenvolvimento Sustentável (a Sustentabilidade, o Verde); e a força da CULTURA e das ARTES nas transformações que se ambicionam. Isto não começa agora, tem passado verificável no primeiro ciclo do Em Cada Rosto Igualdade que será sempre um capital de que partimos e a que se regressará como memória a valorizar.
