Gender Links is Celebrating our 15 Years of Service and hard work by taking a look back at our programmes, honouring our successes and highlighting our impact. GL has pioneered the civil society campaign on the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development; strengthened the women’s movement in the SADC region, put gender on the media and local government agenda, developed a methodology for measuring gender violence, undertaken pioneering work on empowering women and ending violence. This work is anchored by the 108 media houses and 425 councils that have elected to become Centres of Excellence for Gender. Together these cover 25% of the population of the SADC region, and many millions more through media audiences. Read more about our achievements here.
During this year of celebration, we will be featuring Drivers of Change who are championing gender equality as a result of our work. We will also be featuring emerging entrepreneurs from the empower women, end violence campaign. Our news and blogs will include the staff annual learning journey, in which we reflect on what we have learned, and how we will apply it. You can read more about our most recent work in our annual report. You can become involved by:

Interesting work. Well done
GL has inspired Gender and Media in Southern Africa, Tanzania Network – GEMSAT, to stand up and invent a Gender and Media Policy for Community Media in Tz after GL supported GEMSAT to do the same but for Mainstream media. The policy was launched during the WPFD 3rd May this year, the celebration witnessed by the minister responsible for information. We congratulate you for the commendable work.
Amazing work,you keep inventing and reinventing yourselves despite all the odds. Keep your eyes on the prize. Equality is coming …
GL is amazing. Thanks for being there Kofi from its very inception in fact even before it began and being one of its pillars throughout. You are The unsung hero of GL. Congrats .

GL’s story needs to be heard because its a courageous and meaningful one. From humble beginnings yet making inroads where few had dared to go. Gender, advocacy and influencing the media are not for the faint-hearted. So proud to be part of the GL family!
From one woman to a regional organisation working in 15 countries. GL has done it. GL is making a difference in thousands of people’s lives. Survivors have turned into entrepreneurs. The media has changed mind-sets. Councillors are gender aware. 15 years of service and 15 years of changing lives!!! Il faut le faire.
