The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs is training female journalists on gender mainstreaming under the theme: ‘Media as a tool for empowering women in democracy and good governance’.
Luke Bidon, Undersecretary in the Ministry says the workshop is to enable women leaders to carry on their duties effectively.
The training will also foster gender equity within media organizations, he adds.
The undersecretary explains that the workshop is to be a guideline for effective interaction of female leaders with media houses.
He says it will also provide a platform for women leaders to show their talents and help document their profile and achievements.
The workshop that is being co-facilitated by national Ministry of Gender and CEPO, starts Monday and closes on Tuesday.
