The Sub-Saharan Africa Women's Empowerment Project started training media workers last Tuesday at the NAQAA hall. The three-day workshop aims to build skills for reporting on gender violence with ethical practices. WoJAG President Annette Camara stressed that good journalism protects lives and supports justice.
She pointed out media can drive social change, with women journalists playing key roles. Camara noted WoJAG members have worked to show stories of survivors respectfully, challenging harmful cultural practices through professional standards.
Health ministry official Omar Mbacky described SWEDD+ as a World Bank-backed program that began this year. It focuses on helping young women through various support services. The project also provides career guidance to shape their future paths.
GPU representative Adama Makasuba thanked SWEDD+ for strengthening media involvement. He said the press union values its part in training journalists to report sensitively on violence issues. Makasuba emphasized their ongoing commitment to improving journalists' abilities because the media shapes public views.
