This year’s 16 Days of Activism Against Violence Against Women coincides with the release of the Wits State of the Newsroom Report, which contains a roundtable discussion with womxn working in the media. In this report, women journalists and news producers express frustration at how our South African media do not cover gender-based violence (GBV) consistently throughout the year. They explain how hard it is to pitch stories of rape or intimate femicide to male editors. How radio or TV presenters who are men might not do a gender-based violence story justice. How they (men) might cover it without showing the necessary sensitivity or kindness shown to the survivor. Quote This Woman+ wants to change that.
