Help Quote this Woman NPC raise R10,000 for adding 10 new women+ experts to the QW+ database

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Women make up more than half of South Africa’s population. But four out of five experts quoted in the media are men. Quote This Woman+ wants to change this. Help us add 10 new women+ experts to our database by reaching our fundraising goal of R10 000. What we do Quote This Woman+ is a volunteer-led team bringing together a growing community of women+ experts, as a resource for newsrooms and journalists to diversify their sources and subjects, and change whose voices get heard in the media. Quote This Woman+ was founded in 2019 by working mom Kathy Magrobi in the lead-up to South Africa's elections, operating with no staff or funding to curate a list of women+ political analysts and commentators who could diversify the news narratives of the day. In those early months, our experts were quoted in newsrooms from Paris to Nairobi, New York to Beijing. Since the onset of Covid-19 last year, we've redoubled our efforts, bring together nearly a hundred leading women+ voices in public health and science, politics and the economy, and many other fields related to the pandemic and its impact on our world. Our database now includes more than 400 women+ experts, in everything from architecture to zoology. The + in our name recognises the need to be inclusive of a broad range of marginalised voices, and our database includes a diversity of voices across gender, sexual identity, race, class, language, disability and more. We're proud of what we've achieved, but we need to do so much more. Even small donations can make a difference! All donations are tax-deductible.
