The African Woman and Child Information
Network (AWC) was established in 1994 to address a perceived absence of women
networking, expressing women’s views, and writing on children’s issues inside
Kenya and in neighbouring countries. The AWC focuses in particular on policy
advocacy, training, and especially, content development in the context of
gender awareness. Its range of activities includes the publication and distribution
of news bulletins; research; consultation; frequent publications on media
and gender issues; a media-monitoring programme; a variety of campaigns and
workshops on such issues as small arms, conflict, and investigative reporting;
and advocacy for changes in media law and policy. The AWC’s ‘Feature Service’
provides articles to the media that highlight the plight of women. The AWC
has also coordinated the Editors’ Guild and Media Industry Steering Committee
(MISC). The editors’ project involved the monitoring of language used while
reporting conflict and violence issues during the general elections.
