The Symposium was made colorful by the dinner awarding ceremony of women media practitioners who have overtime done impactful and life changing works. These distinguished ladies in media were selected from academia, research, management, civil society, mentors, managers, researchers and trainers.
It is even more dear to celebrate that mother who is a journalist and beats all odds to deliver the public good of information but also provide all the world can offer best for her children amidst all challenges. Dear mothers, you are ‘potters’ whose works are a building blocks of all nations.
The Project observed that female journalists are increasingly facing a double burden of attacks based on the profession and gender as a result of being journalists and women. These attacks present both in the physical and online spaces within which they execute their duties and are perpetrated by both media colleagues, duty bearers/powerful figures, sources and general public.
