EDITORIAL Time must go on By María Elena Useche I am usually a punctual person but this time my clock stopped working because it ran out of battery. Even though I was late for my meeting with Carolina Restrepo, we enjoyed our time together and we had a great chat. It actually left us wanting more. That made me think: when it comes to women's issues, it seems that time stands still. [+] 

The past few months of this year have brought a lot of activity, learning, and inspiration to this organization. Day by day, we move towards a broader and more inclusive future while we continue to face challenges with constructive ideas. Produ Awards celebrated the Pillars of Industry Produ celebrated the best of the audiovisual industry in a dynamic and innovative event: its prestigious annual awards. Between these recognitions, our personal favorites were the Pillars of Industry. A very special award where the founders of WAWA Association Cecilia Gómez de la Torre and Liliam Hernández, and our associate and Woman of the Year 2019, Analida López, from Albavisión, were recognized.   Woman of the year This year, the Worldwide Woman Association Award was a virtual event hosted by the comedian Marisol Correa. This meeting brought together more than 115 executives from the audiovisual industry. It was a very tight competition between the most outstanding women of the year, and for us, they are all winners and deserve to be recognized for their achievements, their trajectory, and their exemplary careers.

Learning and growth with a woman's signature Each of these women, from their spaces and experiences, have left their mark on the lives of those who have had the opportunity to work with them. By being creative and determined, they have reached positions and achievements that make us feel so proud to share the same gender with them. For them, being a woman has not represented any obstacle to inspire others, to exercise leadership, and to build spaces for growth. They were nominated to receive our Woman of the Year award in 2020, and with their trajectory and professionalism within the audiovisual industry, they invite us to continue working to achieve all possible goals.

EGEDA: Legal support and motivation for audiovisual producers We live in a globalized world where copyright protection becomes essential in the audiovisual industry. We must fight for the copyright protection of an original creation because it is a unique concept, and demand a fair remuneration for its reproduction in the different media content distribution platforms. If we ask ourselves: at what point does an audiovisual work exhibited under support, generate rights that lead to copyright? The answer is simple: automatically.   The dramatic implementation of new technologies has exposed the growing need for an update of the legal framework, registration mechanisms, and control of audiovisual exhibitions.

Interview with Giselle González from SERTV We are loyal and committed to contributing to gender equality, not only in the audiovisual industry but also in all sectors of society. At WAWA we have just achieved a great challenge and our biggest dream: the production of our first original series, called ‘Extraordinary women.’ A journey through 16 stories in only eight episodes, produced by Carolina Cordero and María Eugenia Muci, and hosted by María Elena Useche, who is also the executive producer.   Since we wanted to show more about this important project, we interviewed a great woman and professional: Giselle Gonzalez Villarút, the CEO of SERTV. Thanks to her, WAWA agreed to the broadcast of ‘Extraordinary Women’ in Panama last October 2020.
