How are women shaking up journalism in Somalia?

The all-female Bilan Media aim to tell stories from all parts of society

Journalists in Somalia work in a tough environment.
The country has suffered from decades of conflict and political upheaval. Journalists often risk their lives to tell these stories.
But women in the media face additional barriers, put in place by people who don’t think they should be working at all.
Bilan Media – an all-female journalism operation – is hoping to change all that.
They are disrupting the male dominated industry and believe they are able to tell a better range of stories from all parts of society.
