Dr Sarah Macharia is a gender equality champion, women’s rights advocate, and the global coordinator of the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), which is the world’s longest-running initiative focused on researching and promoting gender equality in media.

From Dr Macharia's personal journey, rooted in her mother's resilience and advocacy, to her professional insights on the pervasive gender biases in media and technology, this conversation is a testament to the power of resolve and the importance of collective efforts.
