Civic organisations in Tanzania have urged the media to give equal access to women and men politicians ahead of the country’s October 31, national elections to facilitate attainment of the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development’s goals of gender parity in political decision-making by 2015.
The call comes after it was noted at a Gender, Media and Elections workshop, organised by Gender Links and Gender and Media Southern Africa (GEMSA) Tanzania Network, that women are being left out of media coverage of elections.
