Journalists in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Nigeria can participate in an online training program focused on human rights-related barriers to health services.
Thomson Reuters Foundation partnered with The Global Fund to host the program “Breaking Down Barriers to Health Services.” The program allows journalists to generate awareness of how stigma and discrimination, gender inequalities and violence serve as barriers to health services for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conducted in English, the program combines live video sessions and offline work to strengthen journalistic skills and reviews the specific challenges associated with public health reporting.
The six-week program begins Oct. 11.
The deadline to apply is Sept. 19.
