The 2nd Media convention was convened by UNESCO in partnership with the African Union and was hosted by The Southern African Editors’ Forum in Lusaka, Zambia.
The African Media Stakeholders’ Convention is a moment of reflection by African media stakeholders on the revolving trends that impede freedom of expression and freedom of the media, most significantly the persistent deterioration of these rights on the continent.
Currently, the African media landscape is a mixed picture of progress with certain areas still strangulated with obnoxious legislations that affront democracy and good governance.
Therefore, it is important that focused discussions and research is carried out to consider the specific impacts of limited press freedom on women journalists. In so doing, we must consider the variety of barriers they face that limits their entry and progression in the industry, and implications for them in terms of media freedom and freedom of expression.
