From traditional media to disinformation and hate speech on the network, while Noemí Galván, Equality delegate at Canary Islands Radiotelevision, spoke about the Promotion of Equality from the public media: the case of Canarian Radiotelevision.
The day concluded with a round table where the role of communication as an axis of change towards an egalitarian society was discussed.

“A more just society”
The organization emphasizes that these first Communication and Gender Conference in the north of Tenerife served to “highlight the importance of egalitarian communication, in order to create a fairer and more democratic society. A media treatment that helps raise social awareness of the inequality that women experience in their day-to-day lives, that serves to combat it and to change it definitively.
