Global Girl Media’s mission is to create a world in which the under-represented female voice is heard, celebrated and respected. GGM empowers girls and young women, ages 15-25 through media literacy and storytelling, equipping them with the skills necessary to succeed as journalists, broadcasters, filmmakers, bloggers, and industry professionals.
- 12 young women from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Turkey participated in a 6-week training programme on video techniques and journalistic tools, hosted by iMEdD.
- iMEdD’s support to the Global Girl Media project is part of a new structure of the organization to use journalism as a means of expression and a vehicle of democracy for population groups without access to information sources and decision-making centers.
