Euro-Mediterranean Women in Journalism Award

Launched in 2026, this award recognises excellence in gender-sensitive, evidence-based and solutions-oriented journalism from women journalists across the Euro-Mediterranean region, responding to the continued underrepresentation of women in media and the persistence of gender-insensitive narratives and disinformation.
