With support from the Royal Danish Embassy of Uganda, UMWA is yet again advancing the “Media for Gender Equality and Social Justice-leaving No One Behind” project. This is to address the poor portrayal of women in politics and women at large by the media. This challenge continues to undermine efforts towards growing and sustaining a people centred and inclusive democracy in Uganda.
As Uganda Media Women’s Association, we advance that media plays a pivotal role in shaping societal attitudes, behavior and adaptations, among which is gender sensitive considerations.
Uganda Media Women’s Association (UMWA), an umbrella of female journalists in Uganda suggests that reflection on stakeholder key roles, functions and responsibilities would address the existent deficiencies.
