16 women leaders in Kasangati showed up, learned, and led. Last week, we partnered with @VukaHerAfrica to run a #digitalliteracy and safety training in Luganda because most online spaces are built in English, and that shouldn't be a barrier to women's participation. #WomenInLeadership

Association of Media Women in Kenya
The @AMWIK State of Women in Media in Kenya Report 2026, exposes a systemic leaky pipeline driven by deep structural inequalities, economic insecurity, and safety threats. Despite strong educational qualifications, women journalists face a steep glass ceiling, making up a only 2.8% of media owners and 3.7% of managing editors. This lack of leadership is coupled with job instability, where nearly 60% of women operate in vulnerable freelancing, internship, or correspondent roles, and fewer than 14% secure permanent employment.

We have formally submitted our Internet Shutdown Report and a formal complaint to @UHRC_UGANDA, requesting an investigation and determination on the human rights violations arising from the internet shutdown. We look forward to continued engagement and constructive dialogue on protecting digital rights and freedoms.

Behind every research, project, or program is this team. And once in a while, we make room for play. Last Thursday was a paint and sip. Music, insightful life conversations and cake for our April babies. Play is a form of rest. The inner child in all of us deserves a turn too.

Our Games fellow, Kamogelo Makhoba, is heading to the Game-On Symposium hosted by @Heltasa01 next week to talk about using games for digital and data literacy and the impact this work has on communities. At Pollicy, games are one of our favourite ways to make research tangible and accessible to the communities we serve, and Kamogelo's work is a perfect example of that in action. #GameOn

Domestic workers in Kenya are working 16-hour days, earning below minimum wage, with no safe way to report abuse or harassment. Our stakeholder engagements continue to unpack the gender, digital, and labour rights gaps hiding in plain sight. Listen in 👇🏾 #DigitalEconomy #PlatformWork #DigitalSafety

Today we held space for a few partners, colleagues & friends who would have been at @rightscon this week. We had honest conversations about the futures we want to build and how we actually show up for one another. We can be each other's RightsCon. Drop each other's names in rooms. Cite each other's work. Show up to each other's launches. To @accessnow, we see every bit of work that went into planning this. We stand with you in solidarity. The work continues.
