Women’s “J spot" at the Beijing +15 review
Maria Suárez refers to the “‘J’ spot” in an article exploring why Section J was not a priority issue during the 2005 Beijing +10 review. Five years later, can we claim that women’s media and ICTs are now supported?

GenderIT.org guest editor Jan Moolman talks about looking for the “J spot” at the upcoming Beijing + 15 review during the 54th session of the Commission of the Status of Women.
