Male voices dominate media
11 August, 2025   Economy

In Africa, only one in five of the sources quoted in the news is a woman, according to the most recent Who Makes the News?, Global Media Monitoring Project, a study done every five years.

South African media is better at quoting women than those in Kenya and Nigeria, but still, 75% of those quoted are men.

Quote This Woman+ is working to change this.

QW+ connects journalists from around the world with African women experts. This August, they’re running an #EachOneReachOne campaign to add 100 new experts to their database, which already contains more than 700 woman+ experts in fields ranging from gender rights, politics, economics and crime to AI, tech, education and climate change.

Help them reach that goal by nominating yourself or a woman+ whose expertise you know deserves to be heard.
