Journalists reporting on stories they reported on on GBV. In many of these they used Rel/Traditional leaders as part of the sources. Reporting on GBV has improved. @SonkeTogether @MenEngageAfrica @unwomenafrica @JMukwendi @SAfAIDS @SBSGender @wwso_sa #EndHarmfulPractice #STOPGAP

Some Religious/Traditional leaders condone GBV and serve as gatekeepers denying journalists access to informants. @UNFPA_ESARO @SonkeTogether @MenEngageAfrica @SAfAIDS @JMukwendi @SBSGender @wwso_sa @MenLeone #EndGBV #STopHarmfulPractices @unwomenafrica
