VOICED : A woman's work is never done: the all female media start-up fighting stigma in Somalia

Bilan Media, an all-female startup in Mogadishu, focuses on underreported stories crucial to Somali communities, especially those affecting women. The team of six female journalists covers topics like sexual and domestic violence, aiming to give voice to the voiceless. Despite challenges, such as the lack of a sexual offences bill, Bilan Media advocates for women's rights and societal change. They employ innovative methods, like mobile journalism, to adapt to technological advancements. Launched in April, their work has been well-received, highlighting the importance of their mission in a conservative society.
