WMW in the News
To celebrate the 21st Anniversary of Women's Media Watch-Jamaica there
has been a year of exciting activities which have kept the organization
in the news. WMW and CPTC joined forces to mount a forum on Youth, Popular Media and Violence against Women which was broadcast on television.
At WMW's Tribute to Trailblazers
which launched WMW's Anniversary celebrations, fourteen (14) women were
honoured - women who have been pioneers and gender-advocates in their
field of expertise. (See WMW Newsmagazine Volume 5 #2).
