Amy provided some valuable advice on writing op-eds already; here are a few more links of potential interest (with a strong US bias, my apologies-- if others have resources from their home countries, that would be a wonderful addition).
The Op-Ed Project, discovered by Akosua, is a US-based "initiative to expand the range of voices we hear from in the world, with an immediate emphasis on enlarging the pool of women experts who are accessing... forums."
The NYT has an article about op-ed writing seminars run by the Woodhull Institute (which is in some way affiliated with Rhodes Scholar Naomi Wolf, also author of The Beauty Myth and other books although I'm not sure if any of that information is relevant). I can't find a link to the seminar on the Woodhull Institute website so perhaps it's only offered at certain times of the year.
Women in the Media & News states that their mission is to "increase women's presence in the public debate".
The Women's Media Center wants to make women powerful and visible in the media.
The White House Project aims to "advance women's leadership in all communities and sectors... by filling the leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women".
The National Women's Editorial Forum wants to "empower women to engage in, transform, and democritize the media landscape".
And here are a few other op-eds about the lack of women's voices in the op-ed pages.
