Her Media Diary

Regine Akalikumutima is a remarkable teacher turned media owner and gender activist from Rwanda. She shares her personal experiences and involvement in the Kigali Declaration, a pivotal step in combating gender-based violence in media across Africa

Her journey into media was sparked by the challenges she observed as a teacher. Many of her students struggled with issues stemming from their home environments, where gender imbalance and conflict were prevalent. This motivated Regine to launch her first radio program, "Tuliri Rwanda," meaning "Let us educate for Rwanda," which paved the way for her career in journalism.
