Gender Dialogues: Bridging the Gender Divide
About the Event
Far from being the only cause of gender inequalities, language and other modes of communication can be key to
progressively eliminating gender stereotypes across ethnicity, race, sexual orientation and other facets. Though a
cultural shift might be a long way from a mere tweet , Like or YouTube video – this event will explore how
communication platforms and the media can bridge the gender gap and unlock the doors of equality for all.
