The African Diaspora Workers Network (ADWN) Legal, Advocacy and Communications Officer attended a Gender-Responsive Migration Reporting Media Training hosted by UN Women South Africa and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on 17 August 2026.

It was a fruitful and engaging day, with meaningful discussions and active participation from media practitioners and other stakeholders. The training provided an important platform to strengthen understanding of gender-responsive migration reporting and the importance of accurate, ethical and inclusive storytelling on migration issues.

This is particularly important when reporting on women and children, especially during times of crisis. Through our partnership with the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit Coordinating Committee (ZEPcc) Academy, ADWN recognises the importance of responsible reporting that amplifies the voices and experiences of marginalised communities, while protecting the dignity, privacy and rights of those we serve.

ADWN remains committed to promoting human rights, migrant rights and gender-responsive approaches to migration governance, advocacy and communication.
