[creative-radio] Community Radio Initiators Ready to Run the Stations Soon in Bangladesh

Community Radio Initiators Ready to Run the Stations Soon in Bangladesh
by AHM. Bazlur Rahman
The Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) organised
a daylong
training workshop on "Community Radio: How to Get Started and Keep Going in
Bangladesh" on August 27 2008. The fourth working session focused on a
paper on
"Gender Relations and Development in Community Radio Operation". Participants
discussed the paper's proposed gender policy in community radio, which
centres
around women's access to the airwaves, women's representation on air,
special needs
of minority women, women's representation at all levels of station
management, use
of appropriate technology and funding, and capacity building for women's
radio.
Among the recommendations of the policy: training for women, use of free
and open
source software, a quota of at least 30% for women's leadership and
representation,
and special radio programmes for women. The policy also suggested more
practical
measures such as space allotment for childcare, flexible working hours,
women-friendly equipment s!
et-up and broadcast schedules, adequate lighting and security at the
station, and
transportation arrangements for women who live in remote areas.
