Media leaders, journalists, human rights advocates and gender experts recently gathered at Aga Khan University (AKU) in Nairobi to confront a persistent issue in the industry—sexual harassment in newsrooms. The dialogue, organised by the Kenya Editors Guild, sought to promote media freedom, credibility and professionalism by addressing what participants described as one of the most damaging threats to the sector. Speakers pointed to a lack of women in leadership, ignorance of existing media policies, and the normalisation of inappropriate behaviour as major contributors to the problem. “Some organisations either have weak policies or no proper enforcement. In fact, 64 percent of policies don’t work in many organisations,” noted Dr Radoli of the AKU Graduate School of Media and Communications during the discussion.
