Deadline for applying has been extended to 15th February 2016Health Justice Media Awards are hosted by CNS since 2015 with partners (see partners' listed below) to recognize health journalists with a difference! We value in-depth, rights-based, accurate/ evidence-based, consistent and people-centric news feature articles, radio or TV broadcasts, or blogs on issues around health justice.
2015 Health Justice Media Awards
2015 Health Justice Media Awards focus on a very compelling theme: Health Justice Under Gender Lens. With Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expiring this year, and our governments adopting the Global Goals for Sustainable Development for 2030 in the UN General Assembly in September 2015, it is important for all of us to understand what these Global Goals for 2030 mean for us in our local contexts. For instance, what does it mean to achieve gender equality by 2030 on the ground? Where are we in terms of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and what should the trajectory look like to progress towards achieving these 2030 goals locally?
Health Justice Media Awards 2015 will be given to 1 print/ online/ TV/ radio journalist from each of the following states: UP, AP/ Telengana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
