For over 45 years, Kathy Bonk has been at the forefront of numerous campaigns resulting in ending sex discrimination in the media and policies affecting women worldwide including the U.N. World Conferences on Women, 1975-1995; the International Conferences on Population and Development; and the 1993 U.N. Human Rights Conference, where the term “women's rights are human rights” was coined. In the 1970s, she chaired the NOW Media Committee that brought dozens of legal challenges against media companies, resulting in women being promoted and accessing positions previously held by men, as well as the Pittsburgh Press Supreme Court case ending sex-segregated help wanted ads. In 1988, she co-founded CCMC, which develops communications strategies for policy change. She serves on several boards: National Press Club Journalism Institute, Kakenya Center for Excellence, National Women's Hall of Fame and Trojan Sexual Health Advisory Committee. She is an adviser to Ms. Magazine and Georgetown University’s Public Policy Institute.
