“Female journalists in Kenya face disproportionate online harassment… more than 60% have faced abuse.”

“My integrity was attacked, and I trended online for weeks. What should have been professional work became deeply personal attacks.”

“Silencing women in media is silencing half the story. It is not just an attack on individual journalists but a threat to democracy.”

Zubeida Kananu, President of the Kenya Editors’ Guild, calls for stronger action against online gender-based violence, urging platforms, policymakers, and media leaders to prioritize safety, wellness, and accountability.

Kenya Editors’ Guild joined other stakeholders today at the Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence Forum, organized by TikTok and the Centre for Analytics & Behavioural Change (CABC).
The discussion focused on collaboration efforts in strengthening awareness, building digital resilience, and pushing for stronger safeguards across platforms.
