📣 Are you a woman media entrepreneur in Africa—or do you work closely with one? Your voice is critical right now. African Women in Media (AWiM) is conducting a continental gendered mapping survey to better understand the realities shaping women-led and women-owned media businesses across Africa’s creative and cultural industries. From access to funding, to systemic barriers, to the support systems that actually work—this study is about capturing your lived experience. ✨ Why this matters: The insights gathered will power evidence-based advocacy for more inclusive funding models, stronger financial infrastructure, and better ecosystem support for women media entrepreneurs across the continent. 🕒 The survey takes just 20 minutes 🔒 It is fully anonymous 🌍 Available in English, French, and Arabic Your participation isn’t just data—it’s influence. It’s shaping policies, investments, and opportunities that reflect the realities of women in media. 👉 Take the survey now: bit.ly/awimmediamap⁠ Let’s build an ecosystem that works for all of us. #WomenInMedia
