In this episode Shift discuss the prevalence of women in the Media Industry.  Are there any women who own media corporations in South Africa?  Guests include women who are actively involved in the media industry; they discuss their experiences and challenges faced on a daily basis. The 2012 Southern Africa Gender protocol barometer and the 2015 Deadline for Achieving Key Gender Equality Targets in the SADC region will be discussed. The SADC region strives for gender equality by 2015 so we ask - will the Key Gender Equality Targets be met and what challenges lay ahead that could impede this achievement?  We find out what strategies are in place to ensure women are trained for the Media Industry.
