Who is behind the project?

I am Jeanette Mauricio, a Peruvian-Spanish journalist with more than 10 years of experience in mass media and who works to defend human rights. I had my first radio show when I was 16 years old and since then the radio has been in one of my favorite media. I have also experience in online newspaper, magazines and in Communication department. In the latter I worked for the Spanish Institute for Youth, which at that time belonged to the former Ministry of Equality; and in the Spanish Council for Women, which belongs to the Municipality of Madrid.

Before to come to Norway I lived almost one year in Finland where I participated in a project called “Challenge gender roles to prevent trafficking”, that was a European project between Finland and Baltic countries.

In addition to the journalistic work, I have been giving workshops and lectures about the importance of including gender perspective in mass media. I have been invited to different places to talk about gender and communication. In Norway I was invited to the Spanish department at NTNU and for Jentevakt Anual Meeting.

I am living almost 2 years in Norway, and I can say that I feel at home in this country. I am fascinated with the diversity of the dialects. My first article in a Norwegian magazine was published in Sorgenfri. Currently I am working in more articles and at the same time I am taking a master in NTNU (Trondheim) in Interdisciplinary culture and gender studies. My research will be about Norwegian men and violence. I also collaborate with a Spanish radio program to analyze the construction of masculinity in mass media. The name of my 10minutes radio production is Fábrica de hombres.
