Women Media Advocacy to End Violence Against women

Women have achieved progress in context of media on their side when Kompas, a major leading national Indonesia newspaper gave 1 page weekly of women’s gender perspective. We do not know how it starts but it is one of day where women organization would look for whether their activities and endorsement issue is covered. As for Kompas criminal news of VAW there was very limited news coverage in comparision to Warta Kota newscoverage. Somehow it was not enough to balance news for VAW, because Kompas newscoverage of criminal of VAW was not publish weekly nor in women’s page. The need for Kompas to cover criminal news of VAW is needed to counter what have been published in Warta Kota or other media at the same VAW stories.[4] The reason for this was the way Kompas wrote about VAW case which was different than Warta Kota or any other criminal media.
