A recent study highlights alarming levels of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) in Ethiopia. Key findings include:
 14 prominent women reported high levels of online abuse, including hate speech, revenge po*******hy, and harassment.
 2,058 inflammatory keywords identified for hate speech data collection across four languages: Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Tigrigna, and English.
 Women and girls face higher levels of gendered abuse compared to men and boys, including stereotypes and mockery.
 Intersectional hate speech targets women and girls based on gender and other characteristics like ethnicity and religion.
 Lack of data cited as a major issue in addressing TFGBV effectively.
Join the fight against TFGBV and attend the conference on May 9, 2024, in Addis Ababa. Together, we can create safer online spaces for women and girls.

In Ethiopia, family holds a special significance, deeply rooted in our rich cultural heritage. One fascinating aspect of Ethiopian family life is the size of our families. According to recent data, the average household size in Ethiopia is among the highest globally, with families often consisting of extended relatives living together under one roof.
This tradition of large, multi-generational households fosters a sense of unity and interconnectedness, where every member plays a vital role in the family's well-being and prosperity. From grandparents passing down wisdom to younger generations, to cousins growing up together like siblings, the bonds forged within Ethiopian families are enduring and resilient.
Happy Family Day!

Learning from 78 years of successful journey of Ethiopian!

Ethiopian is ageing beautifully.
Ethiopian is now the leading Aviation Group in Africa. Over the decades, the airline has established itself as the leader in all facets of the aviation business: technology, leadership, network expansion and aviation mentoring.
Ethiopian started its operation with five C-47 aircraft operating its debut fight to Cairo via Asmara on April 8, 1946. Ever since, it has been growing in leaps and bounds and continued to introduce cutting-edge aviation technology and systems. As aviation technology leader, Ethiopian was a pioneer in ushering in new aviation technology into Africa including the first jet airplane as well as the first B767, B777-200LR, B787 Dreamliner, and787-9 in the continent. Ethiopian also led the way in operating Africa’s first Airbus A350 XWB.

Currently, the airline has a fleet of more than 146 modern aircraft with an average fleet age of less than seven years; it has also more than 100 ultramodern aircraft on order.
Happy Anniversary Ethiopian Airlines
