Indian Women’s Press Corps

The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC) was founded in 1994 in New Delhi, aimed at supporting women journalists in their professional endeavors. Established by a group of pioneering women journalists, the organization works to enhance their skills, foster networking, and provide a welcoming space for collaboration and interaction.

Housed in a heritage building centrally located in Lutyen’s Delhi, the IWPC serves as a refuge for its members amidst their busy working schedules and deadlines. It offers a supportive environment where journalists can refresh themselves, enjoy deciciuos meals from the IWPC kitchen, file their stories, or conduct on-camera segments within its lush surroundings.

UNICEF highlights role of media in increasing road safety for children and adolescents
Experts, journalists, and RJs discuss innovative editorial and programming strategies to protect children from road traffic injuries.

To protect children from the increasing dangers of road accidents, over 30 media professionals from print, online, and radio gathered in Ahmedabad for a two-day ‘National Media Workshop on Road Safety,’ organized by UNICEF.  The event aimed to enhance the capacity of journalists to promote road safety, especially for children and adolescents, and to foster collaboration among experts, government officials, and media professionals to advocate for the same.

A collaboration of our timesIWPC & UNICEF
Three decades after it was signed, the Convention on the Rights of the Child remains the landmark document guiding the destinies of millions of the world’s children.
As the world gears up to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the landmark Convention, that provides a set of guidelines to ensure that all children are provided equal opportunities to develop and prosper, it is important to look at what has been achieved and what remains to be done.

The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC), in its silver jubilee year, can play a significant role in highlighting the achievements as well as the guidelines that remain to be met on the CRC. To that end, IWPC is partnering with UNICEF, which has a 70-year old presence in India, and has had a seminal role in ensuring that the Convention’s guidelines are met, to raise awareness about the CRC and to further its aims.

To commemorate 30 years of the Child Rights Convention, IWPC, in collaboration with UNICEF, has posted a course on Child Rights online. All members are requested to view and take the course, which will provide valuable insights and information to help in their professional reportage.
