@GodwinPhiri @Zim_Media_Com @unwomenzw @Media4gbv Patience Zirima from @GMCZimbabwe : Statistics on the underrepresentation of women in media are worrying mostly because of safety issues in newsrooms and in the field. Women in media need support and as stakeholders, we should collaborate toward this cause

[Women's Weekly Journal @w_weeklyjournal]

Currently happening is a media engagement workshop organised by @UN_Women @WCOZIMBABWE @GMCZimbabwe and @WiPSUZim under the theme Beyond Elections: Engagement with Media to advance GEWE. Powerful presentation by UN Women’s Patricia Made on normative frameworks governing GEWE

[Women's Weekly Journal @w_weeklyjournal]

Panel discussion on Gender Equality in Journalism
@GodwinPhiri from @Zim_Media_Com : the newsroom is not a safe space for women. Whilst policies are put in place to protect women, what is really needed is a shift in newsroom cultures that denigrate women.
@unwomenzw @Media4gbv

[Women's Weekly Journal @w_weeklyjournal]

@lalla_ng from @misazimbabwe : There’s an already existing gendered technology gap which also affects women in media and now we have to deal with AI. Women in media face challenges either in tech reportingor using AI tools in their reporting

[Women's Weekly Journal @w_weeklyjournal]

And how these frameworks can hold the media accountable when they are reporting on gender equality. Made also says human rights violations don't only have a social impact but also a huge economic impact as the cost of intervention is high.

Fun fact: Did you know, the type of avocado in our recently launched plantation is called the “green gold” because of its value in the export market. It has become very popular in Africa and abroad due to its nutritional value, long shelf live and great taste.
