Women's Media Watch is a progressive, human rights media-monitoring body in Southern Africa, dedicated to empowering women and engaging in the transformation of the media.

On 16th February 2005 the world's news media came under scrutiny when hundreds of people in over 76 countries monitored the representation and portrayal of women and men in news on television, radio and in newspaper. SAMGI was the national coordinator for South Africa and the SA report was launched on 07 March at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg.
