Study highlights bias against East Africa women in media workforce
A new study says women in East Africa are marginalized when it comes to roles in the media. The Uganda Monitor reports that the study was conducted by the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications. It focused on the progress that women have made and gaps in how they are portrayed across the media landscape. The study focused on women within the media workforce in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Professor Nancy Booker, an associate professor and Dean in the Graduate School of Media and Communications at Aga Khan University, tells VOA’s James Butty, more opportunities in the form of education scholarships should be provided to women so that they will be able to get their education and succeed.
