The goal of the Gender Sensitive Indicators for Media framework (GSIM)<ref>http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/crosscutting-priorities/gender-andmedia/gender-sensitive-indicators-for-media/ {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> is to contribute to [[gender equality]] and [[women's empowerment]] in and through media of all kinds. The framework covers two dimensions: gender equality within media organizations; and gender portrayal in media content. It is designed for use by all media organizations.<ref>GSIM Framework p.17.</ref> The GSIM has been applied under IPDC on a number of occasions and in different contexts, including the following:
* In 2014, Gender and Media in [[Southern Africa]] (GEMSAT) applied it (after refinement for use locally) in [[Tanzania]] to seven community radio stations enhancing understanding of the issues and encouraging change.<ref>See Project database:
* In 2015, it was implemented in [[Paraguay]] by an NGO, Global News Agency, focusing primarily on content in two each of print and digital media and of television channels, and analyzing over 1,100 articles and 400 advertisements.<ref>See Project database:
* Thai Public Service Broadcasting (TPSB) was established in 2008 partly to become a best practice leader in media. The GSIM fitted well with its goal, and TPSB's training institute implemented it in 2014 - 2015 across six prominent broadcasting outlets both public and commercial. The goal was also to raise awareness among these media organizations, the media regulator and the public.<ref>See Project database:
* In the [[Dominican Republic]] in 2014, a Project implemented both the MDI and GSIM by the Dominican College of Journalists, in a wide consultation process.<ref>See Project database:
* A similar Project of the Haiti State University’ Communications Department began in 2016 implementing the GSIM and MDI together, with the goal of producing a set of recommendations to strengthen the development of the media sector and guide future policy.<ref>See Project database:
* In [[Mongolia]], Globe International Centre from 2015 to 2016 took the GSIM and translated it into Mongolian, and piloted it in the public service broadcaster MNB, the private TV station UBS, and the Confederation of Mongolian Journalists.<ref name=":0" />
