"Gender and Conflict Sensitive Journalism can be described as a tool for journalists and others who strive to understand conflicts in a larger context.

ct not only our understanding of the conflict – but also what we perceive to be the solution. This, in turn, affects the conflict and its outcome.

"The gender-sensitive indicators for media (GSIM) is a non-prescriptive set of indicators, designed particularly for media of all forms. However it bears much relevance and usefulness to citizens' media groups advocating for gender equality, other non-governmental organizations, media associations,

journalists' unions and clubs, media self-regulatory bodies, civil society organizations, especially those concerned with gender and media, government ministries or entities, academic institutions and research centres such as journalism, communication, technology schools and universities and other training institutes. The purpose is to encourage media organizations to make gender equality issues transparent and comprehensible to the public, as well as to analyze their own internal policies and practices with a view to take necessary actions for change. The hope is that media organizations will, through their own mechanisms, decide to adapt and apply these indicators to enhance media development and quality journalism." (Page 16)

Thus, peace journalism falls squarely within the realm of the right to communicate – strengthening the ability of people and communities to make known their economic, political, social, and cultural aspirations and urging them to live in peace with one another."
