INCLUSÃO (Association for the Promotion of Social Inclusion of Youth and Diversities in Mozambique) - is a non-profit youth led organisation created by young people for young people. INCLUSÃO’s mission is to promote the social inclusion of youth and diversities in Mozambique by championing democracy and political participation, human rights, climate action, gender & diversities, and economic inclusion through research, capacity building, advocacy, partnerships, and community-driven initiatives to foster a society where all youth, regardless of their backgrounds or identities, can thrive and participate fully and equitably. Their main areas of intervention are: democracy and political participation, human rights, climate action, gender & diversities, and economic inclusion.

Inclusão has developed a specialized training programme for women journalists, designed to equip them with the essential tools and skills to take on leadership roles and amplify their voices in the media. This initiative recognizes the critical importance of women’s representation in shaping narratives that advocate for gender equality and human rights, with a strong focus on women’s rights.

The training programme aims to empower women journalists by enhancing their capabilities, fostering confidence, and providing them with the necessary resources to navigate and thrive in leadership positions within the media landscape. By strengthening their voices, the programme will contribute to the creation of more inclusive and equitable narratives that challenge existing stereotypes and foster a culture of respect for all genders.

Moreover, this initiative will play a pivotal role in combating widespread issues such as gender-based harassment, the unequal division of labor, and the perpetuation of gender stereotypes in media coverage. Through strategic capacity-building and a commitment to supporting women in journalism, Inclusao is dedicated to shaping a more balanced and respectful media environment, where women’s perspectives are valued and contribute to the larger conversation around social justice and equality.
