 Media practitioners have been charged to uphold professionalism while reporting violence against women which has negative impact on the society. The women's situation, Room 9, Algeria gave these advice at a one-day training for 30 journalists on effective media sensitivity reporting and strengthening understanding of dynamism of sexual and gender-based violence in Cardona state. Program Officer Timothée Lauren says cases of SGBV against women are neglected and unreported hence the need for media to be deliberate and more sensitive in their reportage. One of the facilitators, Felicia Bode says media practitioners must wake up to consistently report issues of gender violence. A lot of cases of SGBV sexual and gender-based violence and of course particularly cases of violence against women in other words they are not addressed in the manner in which they should be addressed. So by this meeting we are trying to encourage of course those of us from the media houses to see how far we can go in our reporting to see how we can be more deliberate in our reportage and be more sensitive but when it comes to issues affecting women, cases of molestation, cases of abuses, cases of intimidation, this all affect women particularly so our call to the media is to do more to beam their such light on some of these cases where they exist in order that we draw the attention of the relevant authorities and to see ways in which this can be tackled and of course for stalled. Enlighten and educate the society about the things that are wrong or right in the society. The one thought today that we are engaging on is to enlighten journalists on sensitive reporting especially where women are concerned. Issues about women are underplayed or under reported in the society which should not be. The workshop have benefited a lot and also have been reminded to you know to look at that aspect and then create awareness on what needs to be done for women to be protected to be considering the 35 percent affirmative action for women to also be brought on board when it comes to policy making and leadership. Get the media because it's simply because of the agenda setting theory. Media decide to give an importance to something it become important. Media can set an agenda for the community for the whole world it can set the agenda for people to talk about an issue so we have to target the media so that the media will come set this agenda let people talk about it. The more you talk about this the more changes we start seeing but when no one is talking about it then we won't have the needed change that we need but when the media keep talking about it especially if the media decide to be consistent and persistent about it then we're sure to have a change that we are looking for.
