Glass Ceiling report: Namibia

This audit of women and men in Namibia media houses is part of the Glass Ceilings: Women and Men in Southern African Media conducted by Gender Links (GL). The findings will be used in a global study being carried out by the International Media Women’s Federation (IMWF) through the Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC).

This centre is a partnership between media development organisations and training and higher learning institutions to “collect and connect” knowledge, and collaborate to advance gender equality and diversity in the media across the globe. The GMDC has also facilitated partnerships around the fourth Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), and second Southern African Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) being undertaken in 2009/2010.

In Namibia the study is based on research carried out in 11 media houses, with a total of 815 employees. Researchers conducted in-depth case studies of two media houses and interviewed six journalists/senior managers/editors for their perspectives on the results. A further 44 senior staff responded to perception questionnaires.
