A gender ghost in one of the newsrooms
Youth Information and Education for Behavior Change
May 28, 2012

We express with great sadness the continued Gender insensitive reporting at H-Metro. The pictures and the stories have presented women as sex objects some of the stories infringe into the greater part of our personal privacy what an evil.

As an organisation which thrives on the belief that behavior is the main contributor to the crisis that we have in the nation we believe basic media ethics have been ignored.

Numbers have always changed a lot of things in the country our female colleagues are no longer enjoying in most public places in the city because of this so called city gossip tabloid that have even destroyed people's relationships including marriages.

We believe if we unite as a national family we can win the struggle, let us stop H-Metro from profiting from defenseless unsuspecting women. The newspaper is state owned after all it is disappointing to note that we pay taxis to sustain our own enemy - what a shame.

As a nation we can not watch while sister is being terrorized we therefore we urge all he gender based organisations to fight with this cause. We will soon launch a more strong campaign against that hypocrisy, there are more news worth events to talk about in the country.

In the mean time be concerned fight for your sisters change the behavior of the newsroom at H-Metro. We have watched and its now time to act and we will not win the battle in a press conference because someone is benefiting from our plight. Taking to the trenches against the tabloid is our only salvation.
