Our projects
Our projects allow all victims of wars or discrimination, especially women in conflict zones and refugees in France and Europe, to train in journalism and art to assert their rights and make their voices heard. Its actions are aimed primarily at women journalists and activists in conflict zones. Our actions aim to strengthen the capacities of female journalists and activists, experienced or emerging, to improve knowledge of their rights and of concepts related to gender equality. Our initiatives thus contribute to the promotion of feminist governance ensuring the full and effective participation of women in society.
Voices of Women Without Borders
2021-2024
In conflict and post-conflict zones, crises particularly affect women, victims of gross human rights violations. By drawing on interviews directly with women journalists and activists on the ground in Africa and the Middle East and those forced into exile in France and Europe, AHJ was able to determine their needs and developed responses in the part of the Voix de Femmes Sans Frontières (VFSF) project. The international network of expertise and support in Media and Gender, VFSF, has just been launched on June 1, 2021, as part of the # GenerationEgalitéVoices festival of UN Women France. AHJ will create an operational unit, based in Paris, which will offer training to women journalists in the field and to those in exile, and will develop a secure platform to disseminate and protect their journalistic content. The VFSF network allows women journalists and activists to share their views and help each other between experienced professionals and young emerging talents, beyond borders.
