AMWIK was pleased to participate in a forum hosted by @TheStarKenya and the @ChineseEmbKenya, exploring how media has evolved into a vital tool for shaping national identity and driving international cooperation. The dialogue highlighted the media's power to strengthen ties by fostering mutual understanding, dismantling stereotypes, and sharing the authentic lived experiences of citizens in both nations. Speaking on a panel, @AMWIK Executive Director, @QueenterMbori, championed the emerging opportunities within new media, emphasizing the crucial role women play in steering these spaces to amplify diverse voices.

Officially launched. Today marks the launch of the Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) Gap Analysis Report, a significant step towards strengthening evidence-based responses to online and technology-enabled forms of violence against women and girls in Kenya. The report provides critical insights to inform policy, programming, and collective action as stakeholders work together to create safer and more inclusive digital spaces. @CREAWKenya @gender_ke @GAC_Corporate @awdf01 @NGECKenya @democracy_trust #TFGBV #stopcyberbullying #SafeOnlineSpaces #crawntrust #AWDF

Ahead of the 2027 General Elections, @AMWIK joined @crawntrustkenya and fellow Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs) and key stakeholders for a convening on early preparedness and coordination. The collective goal was to advance women’s political participation through stronger collaboration, enhanced protection, and systemic inclusion in leadership.

Glad I am a beneficiary of this program.

From Concept to Impact: Transforming the Media Landscape for Women @AMWIK, under the @FemnetProg -STITCH program, embarked on an initiative to combat sexual harassment and gender-based violence (GBV) in Kenya's media sector, sparked by a sobering report revealing that Kenya led Africa in media-related sexual harassment. Despite navigating a tough landscape, including Covid-19 disruptions, cultural resistance , and legal backlashes, the project pushed through boundaries to deliver lasting institutional change. The results were groundbreaking: ✅Policy Reform & Advocacy: Created a model sexual harassment policy and pushed for its adoption across media houses, while leading the Gender Committee of Kenya's Media Sector Working Group. ✅Male Engagement: Pioneered Male Cafés and engagement programs to bring men into the conversation as allies. ✅Direct Support: Provided critical psychosocial support and legal advice to affected women journalists, helping them find their voices and speak out. ✅Widespread Institutional Impact: Spurred a rise in media stories tracking GBV and unpaid care work, accelerated leadership training for women (some of whom ran for political office), and established a growing, revitalized AMWIK membership with a brand relaunch and new website. Throughout the years, AMWIK continues to impact society through media initiatives like this. Partner with us today. 📩 Contact us at info@amwik.org. #IamAMWIK
