As we mark the great achievements witnessed in women empowerment during this #IWD2023, UMWA continues to strongly advocate for opportunities that offer women equal utilization of the digital innovations and technologies for freedom of expression and enhanced socio-economic empowerment.
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.
