Journalists, media personalities and human rights activists lamented the mismatch between the media’s reporting on rape cases and the actual incidents as they held a discussion during a webinar organised in connection with International Human Rights Day.
Titled ‘Will the media start reporting rape?’, the programme was organised by Uks a research, resource and publication centre on women and media and the WACC (World Association for Christian Communication) Global.
Moderating the webinar, Uks Executive Director Tasneem Ahmar drew a quick comparison between the rape reporting statistics by sharing Uks’s work on the reporting of rape incidents with the audience. She said that the language used regarding these cases was worth a second glance.
