Images & Messages

The GOWC is concerned about stereotypical portrayals of the Global South in both images and messages. We try to present an accurate picture of the world and the unequal power structures within; and as such have signed up to the Dóchas Code of Conduct on Images and Messages. Please send any feedback you have in relation to this issue to info@galwayowc.org or by post to GOWC, Bridge Mills, Dominick Street, Galway.
