Conversations that matter. What next as cases continue to be reported? Who is not doing what? What needs to be done urgently?

Decades of advocacy on zero tolerance for sexual harassment in the media. 🛑📰
At @AMWIK, we have spearheaded critical initiatives to make newsrooms safe for everyone, from developing model SH policies alongside @JHRKenya, to executing impactful projects with @UnescoEast, @FemnetProg, @FNF_Kenya, @MediaCouncilK, Free Press Unlimited, among others.
Our research reveals that 60% of women in media still face sexual harassment. We refuse to let this remain the status quo.
Alongside the Kenya Media Sector Working Group (KMSWG) and our network of partners, we will keep pressing until every newsroom is a safe space to report, lead, and thrive. #SafeSpacesKE

Different contexts. Common aspirations—but young women need both opportunity and safety online.
This #InternationalYouthDay2026, two AWJP investigations examine who gets to shape AI, and who is pushed back by technology-enabled harm. 🧵
