GEM Trust

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.
