Gender training for the media is important. It helps journalists and editors to understand the attitudes, prejudices, biases and socialization which often come through in media messages;  to recognize and analyze the imbalance of womenÂ's voices, as compared to menÂ's in the media ; and gender training provides skills and techniques to journalists and editors to analyze facts, issues and data from a gender perspective. There are three (3) modules in the manual which can be used in a variety of ways. A three-day training programme can be designed , or, a one-week course can be developed using sections of the manual in conjunction with other training materials relevant to the topics covered. The modules also can be used as stand-alone training materials for other courses designed on HIV/AIDS or gender.
