Estuvimos presentes en la 65ª sesión del Comité para la Eliminación de la Discriminación contra la Mujer, en la que se presentó el resultado del trabajo realizado sobre violencia de género y políticas públicas de comunicación. Este informe fue realizao por FUNDEPS, junto con la Asociación Civil Comunicación para la Igualdad, enfocándose en el grado de cumplimiento de Argentina del artículo 5 de la Convención, que compromete a los Estados a la eliminación de los patrones socioculturales que perpetúen la inferioridad de la mujer en comparación al hombre.

Desde el 2014, los equipos de trabajo de FUNDEPS y la Asociación Civil Comunicación por la Igualdad hemos realizado una ardua investigación y monitoreo sobre la implementación de las políticas de comunicación y género, por parte de los órganos del Estado destinados a tal fin.Aquí presentamos los resultados de esa investigación, en el contexto de un cambio de gestión que aún no ha definido qué espacio dará a las políticas públicas de comunicación y género, y en el convencimiento de que no habrá libertad de expresión en la medida en que haya sectores de la sociedad excluidos de la palabra.
At FUNDEPS we are reaffirming our commitment to working for the human rights of women, by supporting “A year of fighting against media violence towards women and gender discrimination within audio-visual media”, the Ombudsman’s proposal for action, which promotes the construction of civic capacity over communication with a gender perspective in audio-visual medias.
At FUNDEPS we are reaffirming our commitment to working for the human rights of women, by supporting “A year of fighting against media violence towards women and gender discrimination within audio-visual media”, the Ombudsman’s proposal for action, which promotes the construction of civic capacity over communication with a gender perspective in audio-visual medias.
Within the framework of this commitment undertaken, on the 26th of August we participated in a board meeting with the Centre Region’s Working Group, a conference in which the civil society organizations succeeded in drafting proposals for the development of good practices within audio-visual content and products, from a gender perspective and with regard for the diverse LGBTI community. During the course of the event two round tables of discussion developed, the first related to the need to implement practices which take into account the problem of violence and discrimination towards women, focusing particularly on the inspection of content, from news stories which report on cases of male violence against women, to the transmission of propaganda which emphasizes patriarchal stereotypes. The second point of discussion focused on the need to analyse all coverage relating to sexual diversity and gender identity, generating recommendations for its treatment to be handled respectfully and stressing as essential visibility, the elimination of stigmatization and the respect for self-determination as a human right.
Our proposals consisted of, as a guiding principal, the need to improve the effectiveness of sanctioning processes set out within law 26.522 of the Audio-visual Communication Services Law, for all media which broadcasts content that provokes or incites discriminatory treatment based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, political opinions or of any other nature, social or national origin, economic position, birth, physical appearance, presence of disabilities or which diminishes human dignity or induces behaviour that is harmful to the environment or to the health of individuals and the integrity of children or adolescents, as is established in articles 70 and 71 of the stated law. Additionally, we believe that education, sensitization and training for content providers are essential as part of the fundamental budget for the construction of this new approach to audio-visual products in our country.
