FII Inside News

This August, the #GBVinMedia toolkit travelled outside of Delhi for the first time! After our amazing launch in Delhi in July, and our Media Rumble Masterclass in early August, it was time for us to pack our bags and launch the toolkit in Mumbai, as well as visit with some great university students and talk about gender-sensitive journalism with them as well.

Today is our birthday!! FII turns 5 today—on 19th August—and I couldn't be more excited!
