"On this site, you will navigate through a diverse selection of fabulous journalism produced by IMS partners worldwide during the years 2015-2020. With affection, sharpness, passion, challenge, and – sometimes – satire, these entries address the violations and resistance that occur as consequence of and response to patriarchal society. Such topics are often considered taboo and rarely make the news – too often simply dismissed as too private or “women’s issues.” Globally, voices demanding change are chanted and echoed in media and public debate. Feminist protest movements such #MeToo, Un Violador En Tu Camino and Collectif490 are calling for the most fundamental rights to the own body. Women are on the frontlines of uprisings, connecting the authoritarian and patriarchal oppression of people and gender-based mass violations and brutal violence. Men and trans persons are joining the women’s movement as allies, while also critically examining and challenging the rigid, stereotypical, and limiting gender norms of boys and men. Media is not merely channeling and describing these realities; but it has a moving power to challenge the mainstream narratives and stereotypes, push for changing norms and values and raise issues onto the public agenda. It can also help in fighting impunity, hold decision makers accountable, and promote the rights of people of all genders. By boosting this journalism, IMS hopes to contribute to the feminist struggle towards enabling a just and equal world for all. This Gender Reader will republish periodic editions. In this edition, you will find yourself moving among the protesters in Lahore, Beirut and Khartoum calling for change, and you will meet brave people of all genders who resist gender norms and opposes oppression; you will learn that the hymen is in your mind, if feminists can enjoy rap, how cinema can change our narrative on violence and much, much more."
