<p dir="ltr">This research aims to explore insights to decision makers on how gender imbalance can affect individuals, and the organizations involved in news production. This article focuses primarily on the difficulties encountered by female photojournalists working in Ghanaian media organizations. This study aims to identify the barriers faced by females in the sector and identify organizational elements that may have an impact on the proportion of female professionals in the area. Females who work in this field are underpaid and face additional challenges. Data was gathered from a sample of twelve female photojournalists in Ghana utilizing online interviews as part of a qualitative research project. The purpose of the study is to determine the common experiences and difficulties faced by female photojournalists and the impact those experiences have had on both the organization and the person. The study also investigated how female photojournalists are coping with the popular perception that photojournalism is a male-dominated field. Findings confirm several challenges that female photojournalists—both independent contractors and those employed by media organizations—face. These issues were categorized into broader themes, such as harassment, discrimination, lack of representation, and gender bias. Findings contribute to the current understanding of difficult experiences among female photojournalists, as well as inform the development of interventions to support female photojournalists in managing their hurdles and developing some coping mechanisms. Implications with respect to theory and practice are discussed.</p>
