Communicating a culture of peace through Pacific women’s advocacy |

In Fiji media coverage of successive coups demonstrated that with new technologies in play media organizations had the freedom to cover events as they evolved. Equally, it showed that women had little access to such technologies and were poorly positioned to negotiate for peace and political resolution. Following research to identify media and communication practices that advance non-violent and gender inclusive transformation of local and national conflicts there will be a round-table consultation among key stakeholders from the women’s peace movement, female journalists and media executives and broader civil society toward developing a collective understanding of a gender-inclusive women’s peace media and communications framework. These activities will culminate in an interactive digital story telling workshop to amplify the voices for peace among young media producers and the production of a toolkit linking women’s media and other community/citizens media practices with peace.
