  asiapacific.unwomen – Bangkok, Thailand – There are more women media professionals than ever in many countries across Asia-Pacific, but they still represent only three out of 10 newsroom staff, often earn less than their male counterparts and are subject to sexual harassment, while struggling to reach decision-making positions.
  Speaking at the launch, UNESCO Bangkok Director Gwang-Jo Kim said; "[This report] outlines the efforts, achievements and remaining challenges in transforming media to ensure that they advance a culture of gender equality and women empowerment in Asia and the Pacific. "It is my hope that this report helps to position gender equality and women's empowerment at the centre of the global agenda, as an essential means for the achievement of sustainable development in all its dimensions."
  "The report is reflective, but more important for us now in 2015 it is meant to be a catalyst for further change. Gender equality and the empowerment of women is everyone's business," she said. "The media is powerful and therefore has great responsibility in redressing the imbalance in the portrayal of women and men and also in ensuring that women participate. Members of the media can accelerate that change by changing the media from the inside out."
