In Togo, very few women are nominated to responsible positions in the media. Generally speaking, women in the media do not deal with topics with which they are not at ease, and therefore do not have much visibility. In private media, there is only one female chief editor. The only female chief editor in public media is about to retire. Media frequently operates according to ethnic affinities, but this does not mean that Togo is a country with ethnic problems. Society as a whole does not look upon disabled people with favour. And this has repercussions on the media. AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER TOGO 2017 107
