A series of consultative dialogue on gender sensitive media reporting between media professionals (both from print and electronic media) and representatives of civil society organizations (CSO’s) was organized in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Islamabad respectively. The purpose of this dialogue was to develop a framework for gender sensitive reporting by building consensus between media and CSO’s. All participants agreed that a gender sensitive code of ethics for media reporting should be devised and implemented. It was suggested that the code of ethics should include protection to women’s right to privacy and keep a check on their pictorial representation. They should not be represented as glamour objects. Efforts should be made to bring balance in the representation of women at all levels in media. A recommendation was made to expand the range of women related topics to reinforce their positive role in society.
