The African Women and Child Feature Service (AWCFS) website was selected winner of the Not-for-Profit-Category in the   2010 Highway Africa New Media Awards held in Grahamstown, South Africa between the 5th and 7th July 2010.

Highway Africa is a partnership between Rhodes University (School of Journalism and Media Studies) and the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), with the support of several partners, development agencies and sponsors. The conference has been at the centre of Africa’s debates on journalism and new media for the past 14 years.

The Judges’ Comments: The well articulated presentation of women and children’s issues both in design and content, make this a sure winner. AWCFS builds capacity to report on gender issues and addresses the needs of a marginalised community. It is very extensive and covers many areas affecting women in Africa.
