Compelling and thought-provoking discussion with leading experts as they navigate the challenges of reporting on gender-related crimes. From the horrors of wartime sexual violence to the ongoing battles against child marriage and FGM, this panel will go beyond the headlines to explore the human stories that often get overlooked. By focusing on reframing the narrative, this conversation aims to center the voices, dignity, and agency of survivors—ensuring that their stories are told with empathy and respect.
The panellists will explore how journalists can ask thoughtful questions, avoid retraumatization, and help elevate the stories that matter most. This discussion will also delve into how we can shift the narrative to not only report the facts but to advocate for change and justice.
Moderated by Eliza Anyangwe, who will guide this conversation on ethical storytelling practices and how to place survivors' voices at the heart of the narrative.
