African Gender and Media Initiative (GEM)

About Us

The Africa Gender and Media Initiative (GEM Trust) is a cutting-edge not-for-profit organization that works to advance gender equality through research and action on women’s human rights. GEM Trust began as a research arm and a reservoir of knowledge and information for the African Women and Child Feature Service (AWCFS) media content development but has since grown to a fully-fledged registered organization in 2008. GEM TRUST was founded against the background of the need for evidence-based programming in women’s human rights work in Kenya. GEM TRUST brings together women experts in women’s human rights issues specifically women’s health, sexual and reproductive rights, gender-based violence, media, advocacy, and research.
