Kendy Mangra - Mauritius

One day, I was in my office at The Mauritian when I got a call from Loga Virasawmy of Gender Links. The call changed the course of my career. She gave me words of encouragement on my articles. Since then, I have not stopped working in this direction to promote gender equality in my articles.

Through Gender Links, I have had the chance to meet professionals who have guided me, such as Marie-Annick Savripene and Jimmy Jean Louis. I am a freelance journalist at the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation so I have the opportunity to be free in the type of reporting that I do.

My meeting with Gender Links opened my eyes to deal with more topics. It is thanks to them that I also had the opportunity to meet with journalists from other countries who are involved in the struggle for equality and justice.
