The chapter seeks to have a progressive representation and portrayal of all entities in the media and advertising
The Unstereotype Alliance has launched its Kenyan chapter, the second in Africa after South Africa, in a bid to eradicate harmful stereotypes from advertising and media in the country.
The Kenya chapter will focus on broadening the representation of women and men in traditional roles that perpetuate negative social norms and hinder progress of gender equality.
The Unstereotype Alliance is convened by the UN Women, the United Nations entity for gender and women’s empowerment.
In a report announcing the launch, UN Women point out that, in Kenya, harmful social norms contribute to increased acceptance of gender-based violence, lack of economic decision-making for women and constricted opportunities in the country’s job market.
