About 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.
GEM Trust’s Priority Issues
Sexual Reproductive Health And Rights
GEM TRUST stands firm concerning women's right to control their sexual wellbeing without coercion or stigma. We believe sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental women's right. Advocating for women's right to informed and confidential decision-making when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health.
Gender Based Violence
Violence against women is a gross violation of human rights. An act that makes it more difficult for women to exercise their fundamental rights and freedoms. For this reason, GEM TRUST aims to promote initiatives to end all forms of discrimination against women and girls in both private and public spheres.
Research
Women need to participate equally in existing markets. GEM TRUST advocates for a wide range of economic justice issues affecting women, including economic empowerment, pay equity, and social security reforms. Women who are economically empowered contribute more to their families, societies, and national economies.
