- EIB supports Women's Solutions Reporting award
- Celebrating stories of girls and women tackling global challenges
- Winner to be announced in June 2025
One World Media (OWM) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) are proud to continue their partnership for the fifth consecutive year, through the Women’s Solutions Reporting Award. This award is one of 13 that recognise outstanding media coverage from and about the global south. The OWM Awards celebrate journalism and filmmaking that challenge stereotypes, reshape narratives, and deepen understanding.
The Women’s Solutions Reporting Award highlights the transformative role of women in addressing global challenges, from advancing financial inclusion and climate action to improving healthcare and education. By amplifying these initiatives, the award aims to inspire action and highlight how women are shaping a more sustainable and equitable future.
One World Media’s Director Vivienne Francis said: "At a time when the rights and freedoms of women and girls around the world continue to be at risk, the One World Media Awards are proud to support storytelling that ensures these issues get the attention they deserve. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of journalism to transform lives and ignite social change."
Margaret Carroll, acting Head of the EIB Social Policy Unit, who will be one of the judges of the Women’s Solutions Reporting Award, said: "We are thrilled to support this important award once again with OWM. It reflects our deep commitment to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. Each year, this award brings to light compelling stories of innovation and resilience that drive meaningful change—stories that are especially needed in today’s world."
