Ethiopia - The UN Women Representative to Ethiopia, Letty Chiwara, has called on journalists to increase the number of stories reported on women in their outlets. “Media is an opinion shaper because of the role they play in society, so you must report accurately on the success stories of African rural women,” she said. Media trainer Karen Williams also urged journalists to be gender sensitive in their reporting. She called on journalists to compete with their male counterparts in making sure that women stories are at the FrontPage of each outlet. The CSW 62nd theme is Challenges and opportunities in achieving gender equality and empowerment of rural women and girls to be held at the African Union Commission.
