Femme et Télévision au Maghreb (Women and Television in the Maghreb)

Published by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Office in Rabat as part of its 2010-2013 programme to advance gender equality in media content of the Maghreb countries, this guide is designed to help television practitioners to create gender-sensitive TV content and to reduce stereotyping in their productions. It is the first in a series being produced to ensure gender equality in media content in the Maghreb.

According the Centre for Arab Women Training and Research (CAWTAR), 78% of images of women transmitted by Arab media do not reflect adequately the realities. Other experts state that women are less frequently interviewed and their points of views in documentaries are neglected.
