Morocco: HACA calls for fair media treatment of women’s sport

The Superior Council for Audiovisual Communication (CSCA) in Morocco welcomed the mediatization effort for the participation of the women’s national team in the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, calling for fair media treatment of women’s sport.

During its plenary meeting on July 29, the CSCA noted the exceptional effort and mobilization deployed by public and private radio and television stations, to ensure significant media coverage of the national team’s participation in this competition.
The media coverage has allowed visibility of the presence of women in the public sports space (grounds, stands, training, press briefings and parallel events), aroused popular enthusiasm and collective interest in a women’s national team, underlines a press release from the High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HACA).
HACA called for the multiplication of sports broadcasts devoted to women’s sport, the representation of women’s expertise and a more consistent treatment of the question of women’s sport, in particular through the strengthening of the place and participation of women in all programs relating to sport.
The Authority recalled also that the media coverage of women’s sport contributes to the promotion of the fair representation of women in the media and to the strengthening of the culture of parity and gender equality within society.
