JHR is engaging media, women’s rights organizations, decision-makers, and key stakeholders to prioritize and address women’s issues. We’re strengthening the capacity of journalists, especially female journalists, to understand and report on critical women’s rights issues. By producing gender-sensitive and impactful reports, we’re driving change at the grassroots level.
Our efforts are geared towards amplifying the representation of women’s rights organizations and bolstering their capacity to effectively interact with media and pertinent stakeholders. These initiatives enable these groups to advocate more efficiently and yield better outcomes. The program is creating a platform for productive dialogues among key stakeholders, fostering sustainable partnerships that center women’s rights issues in decision-making processes.
