Competition on Best Public Service Announcement to Support Women's Participation in Local Governance
The Media campaign launched this competition in early October 2006. The objective of the competition is to identify the level of public awareness and response to local development issues particularly in reference to women leadership and role therein. Fifty announcements were submitted by eighteen local associations and human rights groups from nine Arab countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen. The awarded announcement was produced by Aljazeera Center for Human Rights in Yemen. The winning announcement was basically used to support Yemeni women candidacy in national elections.
