How a media house in Kenya is getting more women into its leadership

Queenter Mbori-Saina is the president of the Standard Group Women Network, in Kenya’s second-largest media house (Standard Media Group). The network came into existence when the country was still struggling with the one-third representation of women in parliament. The situation of women in positions of power in the media was not better either.

In the short span that the network was created, it has managed to train top leadership on sexual harassment and even launched a nursing room that had been closed. The group has achieved many other milestones as Ms Mbori illustrates in the presentation below.
