In the Guides section, there are sub-sections called “Women oriented rights based journalism”, “LGBTI oriented rights based journalism” and “Gender based peace journalism”.

The research and analysis section consists of reports about gender based journalism, studies, academic dissertation and articles.

In the “News Articles and interviews” category, there are news items published in national and international media.
