Today marks Day One of the #TrustSummit2026 under the theme “Rebuilding Global Trust.” The event has brought together international leaders and stakeholders to explore collaborative solutions for restoring public confidence in institutions, strengthening multilateral cooperation, and promoting trust. As the world confronts pressing challenges such as declining public faith, widespread misinformation, and rapid technological shifts, the summit provides a platform to advance institutional accountability, transparency, and responsible digital engagement. #TrustSummit2026 #WeavingTrust

We celebrate the courageous heroines and heroes who fought for our nation’s independence, as well as the bold women in media who continue to champion truth, equality, and justice across Kenya. Your stories, voices, and unwavering commitment to amplifying marginalized perspectives make you true heroes of our time. Happy #MashujaaDay 🇰🇪

At the @KenyaGovernors, G7 High-Level Women Leaders Strategic meeting, themed "Catalyzing Women's Leadership for 2027 and Beyond," @AMWIK joined governors, parliamentarians, grassroots organizations, and emerging leaders in a unified push to dismantle persistent barriers to women's political empowerment ahead of Kenya's 2027 elections. The forum culminated in the signing of a landmark Joint Communiqué, a decisive blueprint committing stakeholders to collective action, strategic mentorship, and systemic reform to ensure women take their rightful place at every decision-making table. @SIDinAfrica @Sida

Leadership influences content, and content shapes public discourse. In response to editorial updates at @NationMediaGrp, @AMWIK notes that those changes reflect a persistent gap that women occupy under 4% of Managing Editor roles despite contributing 40% of Kenya’s media workforce.

Why are women disappearing from Kenya’s media landscape right when they reach their peak? @AMWIK answered that question in the Status of Women in Media Report 2026, which revealed a stark "leaky pipeline" where women enter the industry in crowds but are steadily pushed out by systemic barriers. The full Status of Women in Media Report can be accessed directly on the resources section of the official AMWIK website amwik.org. #IamAMWIK
