What motivated you to lead the GMMP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am passionate about gender equality and the transformative power of media. Leading the GMMP has allowed me to contribute to this cause by highlighting gender disparities and promoting balanced and fair representation in media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How are you using the GMMP methodology, tools and findings? How have any of these dimensions of the GMMP shaped the work of your organization, institution or network?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GMMP methodology and tools have been integral in our work with the <a href=\"https:\/\/nusoj.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Union of Somali Journalists<\/a>, providing a structured approach to monitor and analyze gender representation in media. The findings have helped us advocate for policy changes and educate media professionals on the importance of gender-sensitive reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What positive change has the GMMP driven in your context? What contribution has it made to the process towards gender equality in or through the media?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GMMP has driven significant awareness and change in our media landscape. We have seen an increase in gender-sensitive content and a more balanced representation of women in media. This has contributed to a broader societal shift towards gender equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As we mark the GMMP\u2019s 30th anniversary now in 2025<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong><strong>why do you believe that it is crucial for the GMMP to continue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GMMP&#8217;s work remains crucial as gender disparities in media representation persist. Continuing this initiative will help sustain progress, inspire new generations of media professionals, and ensure that gender equality remains a priority in media and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Abdiwali Gooni is a part of the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/nusoj.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>National Union of Somali Journalists<\/em><\/a><em> (NUSOJ).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"mailto:gmmp@waccglobal.org?subject=GMMP%202025\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4200\" src=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12331 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg.png 3000w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-214x300.png 214w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-731x1024.png 731w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-768x1075.png 768w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-1097x1536.png 1097w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-1463x2048.png 1463w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/gmmp30_lg-700x980.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Get involved with a GMMP+30 team near you. <a href=\"mailto:gmmp@waccglobal.org?subject=GMMP%202025\">Contact us to find out how<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/category\/meet-the-coordinators\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/category\/meet-the-coordinators\/\">Meet the Coordinators<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/gmmp-2025\/\">GMMP+30<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/the-gmmp\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/the-gmmp\/\">GMMP<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GMMP has driven change in the media landscape in Somalia and a broader societal shift towards gender equality, says coordinator Abdiwali Gooni.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":13071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55,78,52,277,256],"tags":[185,186,174,257,187,211,288],"class_list":["post-13069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-blogposts","category-gmmp","category-gmmp-2025","category-meet-the-coordinators","tag-gender-equality","tag-gender-representation-in-the-news-media","tag-gmmp","tag-gmmp-2025","tag-journalism","tag-representation-of-women-in-the-news","tag-somalia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13069"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13072,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13069\/revisions\/13072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whomakesthenews.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
