Program Initiatives -- Eastern Europe
In the early 1990s, some of the first programs offered by the IWMF provided women journalists in Eastern Europe with marketing, advertising and publishing skills they needed as their countries transitioned to market economies.
More recently, the IWMF has worked with women journalists in Romania and neighboring
countries in building their skills on reporting on women's health care.
