Minister of Gender, Community Development and Social Welfare, Patricia Kaliati, has applauded the Catholic-owned Luntha Television for playing a pivotal role in addressing gender based violence (GBV) and inequality in Malawi.
With funding from Norwegian Aid for Development Cooperation (NORAD) through the Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Luntha Television in partnership with Women's Legal Resource Centre (WOLREC) and Malawi Economic Justice Network (MEJN) is implementing Media Voices for Inclusive Development and Reduced Inequality (MVIDRI) Project.
The project aims to address the challenge of inequality and GBV by utilizing the media platforms to amplify the voice of the voiceless and demand transparency and accountability in the public services and interventions against all forms of violence against women, men and children that have risen to unprecedented levels.
