Who We Are

About the Africa and Media Initiative Trust (GEM)

The African Gender and Media Initiative Trust (GEM) is a women led research 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. GEM Trust brings together women experts in women’s human rights issues specifically women’s health, sexual and reproductive rights, economic empowerment, media advocacy and research. The advocates came together in response to the need for evidence-based programming in women’s human rights work in Kenya and Africa.

An Organization You Can Trust

Sexual Reproductive Health And Rights

GEM Trust staunchly upholds women's autonomy in managing their sexual well-being, free from coercion or judgment. We firmly assert that sexual and reproductive health constitutes an inherent women's right. Our advocacy centers on championing women's entitlement to informed and confidential choices regarding their sexual and reproductive well-being.

Ending Gender Based Violence & Harmful Practices

Violence against women represents a flagrant infringement of their basic human rights, impeding their ability to fully enjoy fundamental freedoms. In response, GEM TRUST is dedicated to spearheading initiatives that eradicate all forms of discrimination against women and girls, both within private and public domains.

Research

Ensuring women's equal participation in established markets is imperative. GEM TRUST passionately champions a diverse array of economic justice issues impacting women, encompassing economic empowerment, wage parity, and reforms in social security. Empowered women not only enhance the well-being of their families and communities but also significantly bolster national economies.

Building a Movement of young Women Feminist advocates

Empowering girls to lead, GEM builds a movement against GBV, fostering girl-led organizations as champions for a violence-free future.
