International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women. It also marks a call for action to accelerate gender parity. Gender parity does not exist for women’s voices in the media. Neither does it exist in humanitarian media. Gender parity in humanitarian media is important to address inequalities in humanitarian action and how people perceive the role of women in humanitarian action, including by women themselves.
