Welcome to the AWJP Community

A Home for Women Journalists Changing the Narrative.

At the African Women in Journalism Project (AWJP), we believe that when women journalists lead, narratives shift, communities thrive, and journalism transforms.

The AWJP Community is a growing, dynamic network of women journalists across Africa — united by a shared commitment to powerful storytelling, investigative excellence, and driving change through gender-sensitive journalism.

Whether you’re a seasoned reporter, an editor, a freelancer, or just starting out, this is your space to connect, learn, collaborate, and lead
