Community Radios

  • GMC implemented a project during the election season that meant to develop and bring about gender awareness, sensitivity, and the capacity of community radio stations and digital media platforms to implement gender programs. The project ensured that these community radio stations could become more gender-sensitive and inclusive. Given that this is the first time Zimbabwe has licensed community radio stations.

Ending Sexual Harassment in the Media Sector

  • Policy dialogues on ending sexual harassment in the media – GMC has and continues to engage key stakeholders in the media sector to collectively take stock of sexual harassment-related issues in the sector,  and assess the effectiveness of current interventions, and come up with solutions to effectively and sustainably ensure that sexual harassment in newsrooms is effectively dealt with.  A Working Group on Sexual Harassment in the Media was created as a result of these dialogues and this group is working toward coordinated reporting mechanisms and Monitoring, documentation, and reporting.
  • Research and Analysis to assess gaps – to provide evidence-based support to media houses, GMC has conducted nationwide research with print, broadcast, and digital media to assess existing policies and procedures aimed at addressing sexual harassment. The research will be used to support media houses in developing policies and procedures that align with the industry’s sexual harassment policy and effectively address the issue.

Digital Skills training

The program was meant the empowering of Zimbabwean women with the media skills required in this digital for citizens to participate easily in conversations in their communities on various issues.
