The Press Institute for Women in the Developing World
- The Press Institute for Women in the Developing World
The Press Institute for Women in the Developing World is an international nonprofit and citizen journalism initiative. The Institute was founded on the belief that journalism is an empowering tool that can bring voice, strength and light to issues that are hidden and people who are oppressed. It is in this vein that the Institute trains ordinary women in the developing world to serve as reporters and writers in their own communities. Press Institute journalists are dedicated to telling untold stories and empowering themselves and others through education and journalism. The Press Institute emphasizes reporting on six core issues that most affect women in their communities: HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, poverty, reproductive rights, political oppression, and community development.
The Press Institute was founded by Cristi Hegranes in March 2006. The Institute will hold its first two citizen journalism trainings in the Mexican state of Chiapas and in Kathmandu, Nepal, in late 2006.
