AMWIK/UNESCO Safety And Equity Gaps Training For Women Journalists

AMWIK/UNESCO Safety and Equity Gaps Training for Women Journalists

The Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), with support from UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), is implementing the project “Empowering Journalists for Safety and Equity in Kenya.” The project seeks to contribute to a safer, more inclusive, and gender-responsive media environment where women journalists can work without fear of violence, harassment, or discrimination.

As part of the project, AMWIK will train 60 women journalists from Nairobi, Mombasa, Busia and Kakamega on digital safety, online security, protection against cyber threats and psychosocial support. All trainings will be conducted virtually. Apply as one of the 60 female journalists across the mentioned counties below.

Being a member of AMWIK has opened doors to incredible opportunities. The networking events and conferences provide a platform to connect with seasoned journalists, share experiences, and collaborate on projects

Freelance Journalist

Before joining AMWIK, I felt isolated as a young female journalist in a male-dominated newsroom. AMWIK provided me with invaluable mentorship, training in investigative reporting, and a supportive network of women who understood my challenges.
