Gender Sensitive Conflict Reporting is not an area well developed in Ethiopia. Conflict reporting has either been gender blind at best, or at worst, perpetuated stereotypes, and harmful narratives. UN Women in collaboration with Ethiopian Media Authority has developed a guideline that will be useful as a reference for journalists working in different media. After the development of the guideline, journalists have been trained and the guideline has been disseminated. It is believed the guideline will help journalists to reflect an accurate portrayal of gender in their reporting. It is also designed as a practical and go-to reference guideline.

This Guideline for Gender Responsive Media published in two languages (Amharic and English) aims to inform and guide media houses, media practitioners, journalists, editors, and anyone in the media and communication sector about ethical reporting of issues related with gender and actions to take to create a gender sensitive media environment both within the media houses as well as in all the contents produced by the media houses

UN Women in partnership with the Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority (EBA) held a capacity building training on gender sensitive reporting and news coverage to print and broadcasting media practitioners from various regions of the country. This training aimed to enhance the participants’ gender knowledge and to equip them with necessary skills for promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women.
