Voice for Women and Girls 🇰🇪

The Project, Canada World: Voice for Women and Girls, is a four-year media-development project targeting media, civil society and women's rights organizations, academic institutions, decision-makers, and other key stakeholders advocating for human rights. #JHRInKenya is seeking to hire research consultants to help in providing the project implementation plan with the needed information to establish baseline data for its objectives, and help evaluate the project’s impact after concluding all of its activities.

Education is not only about acquiring knowledge, it is a catalyst for empowerment and social change. By keeping girls in - and returning girls to - school, we equip them with the tools they need to make informed decisions, which improves their health and wellbeing.

Brave Movement

I’ll never forget the countless times I’ve faced hesitation and silence from women, whether in person or via virtual interviews. As a journalist dedicated to amplifying women’s voices, I’ve struggled to overcome this barrier. Despite genuine efforts to engage, many decline or show reluctance. At the Pan African discussion on “Bridging the Gender Gap in Media Representation” (hosted by Journalists for Human Rights (JHR)—Kenya, Voice for Women and Girls 🇰🇪 and African Women in Media), I sought expert advice. Thankfully, I received valuable insights. This moment held special significance. Three years ago, #AWiM gave me my first solo investigative writing gig. Now, I’m honored to share my expertise on media and journalism via the #SourceHer app. For me, gender empowerment begins with journalists. We can amplify marginalized voices and challenge norms. I’m proud to be part of this movement, grateful for platforms like AWiM and SourceHer. Kudos! Dr Yemisi Akinbobola, Blessing Agbo Ntamu PhD, D.
