What could be mere cultural practices in some communities is taboo according to the laws of the country.

This is especially true for the traditional practices of certain marginalised communities.

A Marginalised Communities Reporting Toolkit through the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) Journalism Department is being created to better understand these groups and how the media can tell their stories objectively.

The Ovahimba and San communities were used as focal points for the study.
