Country: CAMEROON

Improving Gender Justice in Media Houses in Cameroon, Nkong Hill Top Common Initiative Group (NCIG), Cameroon Research has shown that issues related to women and their rights are trivialised, and women are generally denigrated in media content in Cameroon. Gender discrimination in the media reinforces gender discrimination and violation of the rights of women and girls. To address this, Nkong Hill Top, Buea (NCIG) will scale up a similar initiative in the South-West Province to the rest of the country. The project is aimed at increasing public media literacy on gender, lobbying media executives to adopt and implement gender policies for their houses, building the advocacy skills of female media practitioners and putting in place a mechanism for monitoring gender justice in the media. NCIG is a non-governmental organisation established to improve the socio-economic status of the community, especially the rural and urban poor woman. The project will benefit 420 media practitioners and gender activists across Cameroon.
