Media Watch Organisation Milestone

The following books produced by MWO are being used widely for vulnerable women, men and children as well as training materials:
  • Les Leker Koze/Speak Out/La Parole Liberatrice – a series of personal testimonies of survivors of gender violence and abused children;
  • Zanfan Lalimier/Children of Light- a book with DVD on an empowerment programme through art therapy for needy and vulnerable children;
  • Mirror on the Media- Monitoring the media from a gender perspective during the 16 days campaign against gender violence;
  • Know your Rights – a compilation of laws relating to women
  • Kontabilite en Kreole – a training manual to build the capacity of men and women who are in small businesses to do their basic accounting. MWO trained women in three regions of Mauritius. In February 2012 the course was done in the Mauritian Prison for prison officers and prisoners (both male and female). Some of them said “had we received this course we would never have found ourselves in prison.”
