Jaipur: The United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA) on Monday signed an MoU with Haridev Joshi University (HJU) with the aim of building capacities of budding journalists on rights-based and gender-sensitive reportage. Officials said that the MoU will focus on 2030 sustainable development goals on issues related to population dynamics, reproductive and adolescent health.
The MoU was signed between vice-chancellor HJU, Prof Sudhi Rajeev and Andrea Wojnar, UNFPA India Representative.
“The partnership aims to institutionalise and integrate population dynamics, adolescent development and wellbeing, and gender concerns into the university’s curriculum. UNFPA and Haridev Joshi University will work towards empowering the next generation of journalists and media professionals with a deeper understanding of pressing global challenges, fostering responsible reporting and effective communication related to gender and human rights, reproductive and adolescent health,” said a statement shared by the university.
“This MoU will give both classroom and practical exposure to our students who will be able to become better journalists in future. Being an educational institution, it is our goal to turn every student into an asset. The University is proud to announce its partnership with UNFPA India to realise the goal of 8 billion possibilities,” said the VC.
“Investing in the training of young individuals can unleash the power of youth voices. By training them as gender-sensitive journalists, we can cultivate a more informed and inclusive cohort capable of challenging societal norms, amplifying marginalised voices, and exposing gender-based injustices,” said Wojnar.
