Legal frameworks: The nexus of gender-based violence and media

This briefing note is designed to give readers a basic understanding of the key international and regional legal standards that apply in the context of gender-based violence and its nexus to media.

The note is aimed at media practitioners who do not necessarily have a deep understanding of gender-based violence; it also aims to be of interest to and relevance for women’s rights organisations and encourages collaboration between media actors and women’s rights organisations to boost advocacy efforts to eliminate gender-based violence.
