The inclusion, leadership and representation of women and girls within the media and information sector is a prerequisite for the recognition and integral enjoyment of rights by all.

Internews believes that access to information is a root solution that enables people to make informed decisions, participate in dialogue, stand up for their rights, influence public policy and social norms, and hold governments and other institutions to account.

Internews works to enable everyone to participate meaningfully and freely in society to achieve their full potential, and that requires an inclusive lens. Across the world, women and girls are disproportionately affected by information inequality as audiences, content producers, and leaders in the media and information sector. These inequalities preclude societies from achieving equality and individuals from achieving their full potential.
