In Uganda men have dominated the sports media landscape, representing approximately 75 to 85% of sports journalists, with women making up only 15 to 25%.  Aheebwa highlights that sports journalism is “traditionally seen as a male domain” in Uganda, which has limited women’s entry and growth in this field. Female reporters often cover less prominent sports and have fewer opportunities to headline major events or gain editorial leadership roles.

The very cradle of journalism, bustling with the cacophony of breaking news and the relentless pursuit of truth, seems to be churning out a generation of journalists with hearts set on paths less trodden.
