HRH Princess Basma, in her capacity of honorary chairperson of the Arab Media Women's Center (AMWC), on Wednesday March 9th honored distinguished Arab women who work in media.

At a ceremony hosted by the Center on the occasion of the Arab Women Media Day and the International Women's Day, several success stories of women in media were highlighted.


                                       
Arab Media Women’s Day is observed annually to highlight the need for more efforts to bridge the gap between official and public discourse through promoting a balanced image of women in the region, and contributing to transforming social behaviour against them.

Princess Basma was presented with the recommendations of the 12th Arab women media conference, which was held recently.

AMWC was established in 1999 under Princess Basma’s directives as a non-government organisation specialized in empowering Arab female journalists through training, research and media consultations.

*Princess Basma is the current king Abdullah II's paternal aunt.
