USING MEDIA TO EMPOWER PEOPLE

Radio La Benevolencija / Humanitarian Tools Foundation (Radio
Benevolencija) is a Dutch humanitarian multi-media production NGO that
uses broadcast campaigns, events and grassroots activities to encourage
people to become active bystanders in the face of incitement to violence.
Its campaigns endeavor to use the accumulated experience of victims of
ethnocentric violence who have empowered themselves and reached a peace
with their former tormentors. Using academically researched methodologies,
the organization strives to develop knowledge tools - guides on how to
deal with an array of manipulative pressures that move individuals and
whole societies to commit physical and mental harm. These tools are
presented in media campaigns that use entertainment and education methods
to reach audiences that have experienced , or are in danger of
experiencing violence. A prototype of such a campaign is its African
operation, "Great Lakes Reconciliation Radio" , a regional project that
has been in operation in Rwanda , the Democratic Republic of Congo, and
Burundi since 2003.

[creative-radio] To Give Life and Live - Côte d'Ivoire

To Give Life and Live - Côte d'Ivoire
This reproductive health initiative was developed by a group of 20 women
journalists in the Ivory Coast who are part of La Cellule Féminine des
Média contre le SIDA en Côte d'Ivoire (CFMS-CI). These women are using
their skills - and their connections within the media in the country - to
disseminate reproductive health and HIV/AIDS messages to other women, and
to explore new ways to reach out to their intended audience. Using what
they intend to be frank, simple language that can be easily understood,
they write articles and broadcast radio spots on various issues related to
HIV/AIDS. They then meet in smaller groups with local women to foster
dialogue on, and the raising of questions about, the articles they have
written or reports they have given.

[creative-radio] Rural Women Reporting

Rural Women Reporting
According to this report, rural women are rarely heard in the media; even
more
rarely do they actually have the opportunity to create media. The Rural Women
Reporting project was developed to both produce programmes that speak to
the issues
rural women face, and to empower those who participated through skills and
confidence-building to support ways to make their voices heard. For instance,
participants (7 women, 1 man) in South Africa decided to create individual
features
following workshops that covered not only how to make audio programmes,
but also how
to interview and conduct research. In addition, a reporter from a national
newspaper
came to speak with the participants about rural women's issues. This process
resulted in 8 programmes of varying lengths in both English and isiZulu
covering
topics such as young women and employment, teenage pregnancy, child-headed
households, women and inheritance rights, polygamy, grandmother and
grandchildren,
forced/arranged marriages!
, and evictions from the marital home. The programmes were made available
to local
radio stations and places where people gather, and were distributed over the
internet as podcasts.

[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.
