Puerto del Rosario hosts discussion on reporting violence against women
A free round-table discussion on journalism, gender equality and reporting violence against women takes place on 13 November.
A free round-table discussion in Puerto del Rosario on Friday 13 November will explore how journalists report on violence against women and the responsibility of the media to cover it rigorously.
