Responsive to the rampage, UMWA has kick started regional capacity building targeting female journalists. This is in effort to enhance their knowledge and skills on keeping safe and secure in their career execution.
The 2020 GMMP report released by UMWA observed that there was a low women visibility in news media, only at 24% as news sources and subjects compared to their male counterparts. And yet, only achieved at a 6% rate over a ten year-period of time and a staggering progress as of the March-June 2022 gender responsive media monitoring engagements.
