This is a 20-page primer on gender fairness aimed at aiding Philippine-based business support organisations and the volunteer business advisors in addressing aspects of management and business operations that can be enhanced through gender-fair business practice. The primer provides specific strategies and resources for the actual practice of gender-fairness in business settings. It synthesises material on topics such as hiring, sexual harassment, leadership training, to advocate for gender fairness in the workplace. This primer was written as part of the Gender Fairness as Good Business project with PEARL2, which is funded by the Canadian International Development Agency's efforts to promote the growth of small and medium-scale enterprises in the Philippines.

As the first volume of the Isis International–Manila monograph series on Social Movements Empowering Communication, it serves as a testament to the thriving passions of a 33-year-old feminist development communication organisation that continuously learns from women who have steered it into global collaborations in the past, and supports the women who will steer it into the future.
This primer gives a background on the concepts of peace journalism as well as useful information in journalism in conflict situations, with additional guides on self-care for journalists covering conflict. This primer is the result of the longstanding experience of media women of Min-WoW and Isis International-Manila monitoring and analysing of the media in different parts of the world from a Southern feminist perspective. Moreover, it is the result of the three trainings we conducted in North-Western Mindanao, Philippines under “Women Making Airwaves for Peace” and what the training participants coming from different media organisations, NGOs and grassroots organisations found most helpful and accurate in their daily work as journalists or community women dealing with the media. This primer is geared towards media practitioners.
