UGANDA: Internews is training journalists how to report on gender-based violence, as well as encouraging reporters to be more aggressive and more curious, and to feel more responsible for providing information to their communities.
"It’s so important for a woman to feel empowered, to feel that her opinion matters, that she should have a voice in the newsroom. It’s just incredibly gratifying for me to see that happen.."
Rachel Jones, NPR Reporter, Trainer for Internews in Uganda
