Gender Links Associates: Building Bridges in the New Millenium

Gender Links Associates is an association of researchers and trainers committed to giving effect to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Declaration on Gender and Development for the promotion and attainment of gender equality. Its particular areas of focus are media; advocacy; policy analysis; governance; gender training and organisational development/transformation. Playing a facilitative and co-ordinating role, as well as initiating new ideas where appropriate, Gender Links Associates seeks to contribute to the development and sharing of a truly Southern African knowledge base on gender equality with a strong emphasis on mainstreaming gender in the media.

GLA is part of the Africa Gender and Media Initiative (GEM) - a partnership between three organizations committed to the fair representation of women and increased coverage of gender issues in the mainstream media. Its two partners in this initiative are Inter Press Service, a global development news network that has been in the forefront of mainstreaming gender in its coverage; and the African Women and Child Feature Service that has been active in policy debates on gender and the media in East Africa.
