Changing Lives
 

In 2011, as part of Gender Links' ten year anniversary, Gender Links conducted a beneficiary analysis of the nearly 50 000 people whom we have reached directly through our work. As part of this we gathered several testimonies of how the work we are doing is changing lives. We are continuing with the gathering of this evidence, because it is through changing lives that we change institutions, countries, our region and eventually the world! Armed with our slogan, Gender Links for Equality for Justice we believe that change is possible, and that it starts with each of us. If you would like to share your testimonial with us, please email publications@genderlinks.org.za.

My memorable experience with Gender Links is the time when I won the Gender media award through my contributions to Gender Links opinions and commentary service but could not attend the award ceremony. So GL sent me the prize that I now care as my other valuable things...Since then, I become a Gender active and think of a gender-based living world. Long Living for GL and happy anniversary for YOU

Je suis heureux d'avoir bénéficier plus de trois fois des programmes de GL. Une première fois en 2006 lors d'un TOT avec NSJ, puis trois fois entre 2009 et 2010 pour prendre part aux programmes de Media literacy. En tant activiste et formateur, ce programme m'a beaucoup aidé à progresser dans ma propre connaissance des médias et de différents regards que les médias ont de la société. Avec le GMDC, j'ai également pris part à la dernière enquête sur le Gender dans l'éducation. En tant que représentant de mon institution, IFASIC, aux rencontres de GL, j'ai appris à déormais faire attention à ce qui se passe autour de moi et à l'apprendre aux autres. Je compte maintenant améliorer mes performances dans l'intégration de la dimension Genre dans l'enseignement du journalisme dans mon pays, la RDC. J'ose croire que, grâce à GL, mon expérience pourra être partagée avec d'autres collègues de mon pays. J'espère également continuer à bénéficier de cet apport précieux de la part de GL pour ma propre formation et celle des étudiants que j'encadre.

In 2002 when Colin and Loga first came to Seychelles to carry out a workshop for journalists to educate us on how best to report on gender violence and the things journalists should bear in mind in order not to portrait the affected parties as being responsible to what is happening to them. That workshop and other training which followed changed the way I write and from then on I have always looked and include voices in my stories. The way I consume news has been altered and attending two gender summits have given me a better view of what the gender issues are in other African countries. All thanks to Gender Links.

It is obout five years since I started to receive various information concerning gender from Gender Links. Thanks to GL for such information which helping and updating me as an activist towards GBV. Sometimes I have been taken some case studies from GL and shared with my fellow staff as well as members of our organization (MVIWATA-in Tanzania)in order to see how we can take collective efforts to tackle GBV in our community. I wish all the best to GL and may GOD BLESS YOU in commemorating 10 years!!!
