On International Women’s Day, March 8, 2018, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) Asia Pacific, launched a campaign to improve women’s leadership in journalists’ unions and associations in the region. The IFJ noted that though the number of women working in the media continues to grow, they are still not leading in journalist unions. Recent research revealed that on average, only 28 percent of members in media unions and associations in the Asia Pacific are women; and the presence of women in executive committees and decision-making bodies is only 22 percent.
