Femminine Moldovan Community (CFM) Strategy
(The IV Congress of NGO Comunicare)

In recognition of the fact that communications and information play a strategic role in every realm of social, political, cultural and economic activity, these topics figure prominently on the implementation agenda of CFM Initiative. To increase the participation and enhance the access of women to expression and decision-making in and through the media and new technologies of communication.
The right to communication and information is a human right, which requires adopting a policy that will guarantee women's democratic access to all communications systems and media. Communications processes with a gender perspective, must be open, pluralistic, and respectful of diversity and freedom of expression and thought.

This strategy, which should address the communications needs of the community as a whole, women's networks the following aspects:

- promote and strengthen women's alternative media: this will contribute to a greater democratization of communications;

- access to information is a basic human right and therefore a women's right. Without access to information, women cannot adequately participate in democratic and decision-making processes.

Actions to be taken:
Produce visual printed materials in comprehensible language that share information on issues that affect women's daily lives. Make documentation sources available, via printed and electronic media.

Employ diverse communications media for women's networking, alternative media, computer networks and others. By interlinking these channels, using computer networks as an international backbone, a truly global networking system can be built, which will seek to incorporate women who have been marginalized by lack of access to literacy, information or technology.

Develop gender-sensitive training programs for women trainers in communications practice, policy and new technologies.
