In a powerful demonstration of commitment, leading media organisations from East and Southern Africa have signed a landmark declaration pledging their intensified support for advancing gender equality across the region.
In the signed declaration, media representatives affirmed their understanding that media shapes public discourse, influences policy agendas, and holds power to account.
They also acknowledged their profound responsibility to challenge harmful stereotypes, amplify marginalized voices, and report on gender issues with accuracy, sensitivity, and depth.
The media organisations that gathered at the Generation Equality Media and Commitment Makers Forum in Nairobi pledged to ensure the efforts of gender equality players are visible, impactful, and sustained to promote positive social norms, challenge harmful perceptions and break stereotypes.
