AMWIK was founded in 1982 by a group of women journalists prior to the UN Women’s Conference held in Nairobi in 1985, at a time when the voices of women and their issues received very little attention in the media. AMWIK’s objective is to promote an informed and resourceful society through professional development and transformation of the media to enhance the status of women in Kenya. The grant will be used to promote women’s participation in decision making regarding the COVID 19 recovery processes.
