KICTANet
in partnership with Access is pleased to announce an open call for women
journalists and women bloggers to participate in digital security training.
We
are particularly interested in women journalists and bloggers who focus on political
reporting. We will nevertheless observe the constitutional requirement of the one
third gender rule and will therefore consider a few applications from men
bloggers and journalists.
This
training is informed by incidents of online harassment of women journalists and
bloggers, and coming at a time when the Kenyan social media environment is
polarized because of the approaching elections.
The Training
The training will increase participants’
knowledge in such areas as:
·
Identification and evaluation
of risks
·
Response to digital security
incidents
·
Legal and ethical
environments along online expression.
For more information, please see the flyer attached.
To apply, please SEND YOUR
EMAIL TO info@kictanet.or.ke.
The deadline to submit expressions of interest is June 13, 2016.
If you
have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with Liz Orembo (lizorembo@gmail.com) who is coordinating
this Project.
