    "content": "the participation of women in the media were still wanting. There were few women in politics and stereotypes depicting women inappropriately were still being experienced. Activities that discriminate against women, gender inequality are still characteristic of the media to date. There is slow progress in realising equality in issues of women and the media despite very many campaigns on the issue. It was also noted that there is need to insist that media houses and organisations include educational content and inclusive messages that would allow children to grow in a framework of equality. There is need for a national strategy on equality to tackle discrimination against women. These were issues coming out from women and the media including express focus on inter- sectionalism and inclusivity of women in employment. They also deplored the fact that there was non-existence of gender media policy and this was seen as being due to the power of main media companies that have refused to be regulated. Further, the need to mainstream gender equality in the media and ICT was noted."
