Decades of advocacy on zero tolerance for sexual harassment in the media. 🛑📰

At the Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), we have spearheaded critical initiatives to make newsrooms safe for everyone, from developing model SH policies alongside Journalists for Human Rights-Kenya, to executing impactful projects with , Femnet Secretariat , kenya, Media Council of Kenya, The Free Press , among others.

Our research reveals that 60% of women in media still face sexual harassment. We refuse to let this remain the status quo.

Alongside the Kenya Media Sector Working Group (KMSWG) and our network of partners, we will keep pressing until every newsroom is a safe space to report, lead, and thrive.
