Clearly, we have all witnessed the contribution of women in their diverse empowerment. Their efforts have contributed to both national and international development but also a balanced resource utilization by all with women as part of decision making. Indeed, in the recent elections, we have seen a 43% women political positioning, the kind of Winnie Byanyima become Executive Director, UNAIDS, among many. Largely, these women are responsible and respectful wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and colleagues, a contrary to the belief of “control”
Do these women have the spine for harsh criticism or they are simply easy targets for bullies within parliament, social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and TikTok? What have they done to cope with the criticism, bullying or unflattering light?
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.
Thanks for empowering women
