The Legal & Regulatory Frameworks for Gender-Safe Media Community works to strengthen legal, institutional, and digital mechanisms that ensure accountability and gender-safety across African media systems. Persistent gaps in law enforcement, representation, and digital regulation continue to expose women journalists to online abuse and structural inequality. This Community focuses on harmonising legal frameworks, building capacity among journalists, regulators, and media development organisations, and embedding survivor-centered and gender-sensitive approaches in all media governance processes. 
Its roadmap includes creating practical toolkits, gender-safety codes, and cross-sector accountability mechanisms such as audits and ombudsperson systems. By collaborating with regulatory bodies, digital platforms, and civil society, the Community aims to integrate African frameworks like the AU Convention and Kigali Declaration into newsroom and policy practice, ensuring that women’s leadership, safety, and dignity are central to a just media environment.
